Hi Cheryl. You can fix the OE spell checker problem by downloading the free Spell Checker for OE program from the following website: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952 This program replaces the French dictionary with an English one to make the OE spell checker work properly. ----- Original Message ----- From: cheryll To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, June 13, 2008 7:44 AM Subject: Re: Changing default language in OE Spelling Check Hello Jerold, Did you receive a answer/fix for the spell checker? If so, will you please forward it on to me. thanks in advance, Cheryl ----- Original Message ----- From: Gerald Levy To: JFW list Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2008 10:55 AM Subject: Changing default language in OE Spelling Check Hi fellow listers. I just tried the Spelling Check in Outlook Express for the first time, and it flagged almost every word in my message as misspelled, even though they were, in fact, all spelled correctly. So I went to the Spelling page of the Options dialog of the Tools menu, and discovered the cause of the problem: the Language Combo Box lists French as the one and only default. Since there is no list of other languages to choose from in this combo box, how can I change the default language to English so that the Spelling Check works properly? Thanks, or should I say "merci". ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG.
