Gerald,
I don't have the problem you were confronted with, because I'm using OE 6
and, I guess more relevantly, Word 2000, which I find more manageable in
several ways than the versions that have succeeded it. More manageable with
Jaws, I mean.
But I don't understand what this is that you've downloaded and installed. Is
it a different version of Outlook Express that I've never heard of, thinking
that Version 6 is still the most recent one, now supplanted by a new email
client roughly equivalent to it that runs with Vista? Or is it a spell check
utility that comes from somewhere other than Microsoft and is meant to
restore full spell check functionality to Outlook Express if you've
installed Office 2007 or Word 2007 and thus disabled all but the French
option, for some unexplained reason? As you can see, I haven't understood
this thread very well, and I'd like to.
Thanks. And glad you've found a solution.

Problem solved. I downloaded and installed Spell Checker for OE 2.1, and
it works fine. Thanks.

Have you installed Microsoft Office 2007 on your system? If you have,
this is why you only see the French option when using the spell check in
Outlook Express.
The spell checker that installs with Office 2007 is not compatible with
OE. Your options are to use a third party spell checker for OE or downgrade
to Office 2003.

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".
