If you are using Office 2007 then that is where the problem lies, as it screws up the outlook express dictionary with no workaround. A search on google will confirm what I am talking about. You will have to install another spellchecker to fix; well that's what you needed to do last time I looked.

Hi Darren This is good advice and I knew it but the thing is: there is onlyFrench shown as a language so I can't change it to English.
