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.

    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".
