Phil, thanks very much for your clear instructions, I added French France in the language options in IE7. We'll see what happens now when I write a mail in French. Hope it works because my spelling in both languages leaves a lot to be desired and I do not like misspelt text when I read it myself and therefore do my best not to inflict this on others.

When in IE, choose tools with alt+t then o for options. Tab down the general tab until you reach the languages button and press enter. You should now have a dialogue where you can see what languages you have available and may add others. If this doesn't present you with further options in Outlook express, it may be necessary to investigate the language settings in the regional and language options in control panel. Here, there is a languages tab where you may add or remove extra language options.

Before Barbara's query, I thought English was the only option and I had to cancel the checker when writing in French. Knowing how to add this option would be very useful. Thanks in advance for any help.

I went to check the settings today and discovered that the language is set to French. There is only one language option in the list - French. Can anyone tell me what's going on and how to change it to English? www.paws4guidedogs.co.uk a Website owned and run by guide dog owners in Northern Ireland to support and promote the work of the Association in the provence. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3421 (20080906) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3423 (20080906) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
