  Clear DayI have a newly purchased Dell computer. OE works fine, but the spell checker defaults to French and lists no other options. I've checked in Outlook itself and, AFAIK, all the defaults there are set to English. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance. BillR

  You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in OE6
after you install Office 2007
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974

[More discussion: http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/11/13/80]

The spell checker in Office 2007 is not compatible with OE6. Try one of
these free spell checkers instead:

Vampirefo's Spell Checker for OE 2.x
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

TinySpell (checks spelling as you type)
http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/

Australian English Spell Check
(Also suitable for other English speaking countries.)
http://www.justlocal.com.au/clients/oespellcheck/

If you have an earlier version of Office available as well, see:

  This is completely insane. Why wouldn't MS Office 2007 support English spell
check? This needs to be fixed immediately.

  You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook
Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974

Outlook Express cannot use the MS Word spell check in Office 2007.
Downloading a free spell check is the simplest way around this.

Vampirefo Spell Check.

Did you try to follow any of the advice given.
