Outlook Express Spelling

[jrtv]

Got a second hand computer which is fine but the spell checker in outlook express is in Frence, when I click on tools and try to change the settings only France is there in the language box, any idea's to get it back to English.

Outlook express doesn't have a spell checker as standard.

But (presumably because it's an older version of OE) Jrtv's mail client DOES have access to a spell checker (even though it's in the wrong language), Chuck.

Since no version of OE actually has a built-in spell checker, I have to assume that Jrtv has a pre-2007 version which make a call upon the spell checker within Microsoft Word. So the obvious thing to try is to open Word and to try to change the spell-checking options from within that program, rather than directly within OE.

Spell check in OE has always only worked if Office/Word was installed. Need to check the Office version and settings.

PS It will probably be the French dictionary selected in it .. or the English one has been removed.
