OE Issue

waxace · 06-03-2007, 10:09 AM

I have a interesting problem that I hope someone here can figure out for me easily.

I was composing a e-mail and decided to use my spellchecker in OE.
It seems to want to check every word!!
Then I went to Options and found out why.
The language was set to French. I never changed it and there is no option in the drop down
menu for any other language. (I am looking for English)
Is there a simple way to change it to English that I am not seeing?
Any help would be appreciated.

Windows XP Pro SP2
IE 7
Office 2007 Pro

Thanks,

OE will use Word dictionary for spell checking . . look at the Word dictinary to see if it is set to French

checked Word and it seems to be in English by default.
Went back to OE and it is still only offering FRENCH.

The first link although that it will work seems to be quite a bit of doing.
But as I say, It will work.

The second option worked like a charm.

No problems, and it gave the option of ENGLISH (It changed the default to English) or French from Installing Office 2007.

Thanks for your quick and accurate response!!
Well done!~!!
