Hi Barbara, I'm not sure if this will work but I'd first check what default language settings you have in Microsoft Word. From the depths of my memory I think that Outlook Express uses a link with Word for spell checking. You can check the language setting in the Tools, Language options and once you've selected English UK, tab to the default button to save it into the normal template. Other than this, I've got no other immediate thoughts.

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.
