Spellcheck
I had to re-load XP and since that time the outlook express email spell checker only works in French. No way to change the language is obvious.
Any ideas.
Thanks

Would it be based on the 'Regional and Lanugage Settings' in the control panel?
My OE offers me English (GB,US,AU,CA), FR (FR and CA), and Spanish. My OS is also XP.

Do you have Office 2007 installed?
There's a known bug in that Office 2007 installs some language files that are incompatible with Outlook Express, producing the effect you have experienced.
AFAIK, it is not reversible, and MS have never fixed it (I guess they don't want people to use OE and XP any more).
Your options are either move to the full Outlook client with Orifice 2007 or get hold of a 3rd party spell-check add-on for OE.

How do you look up a word in a dictionary, if you don't know how to spell it?.
The Oxford English Dictionary is a very boring book to read, but at least they explain every word as you go through it.

...how did you type the word you want to spellcheck if you don't know how to spell it? The same mental process applies to looking in a dictionary.
What if you are offered by the spell checker "their" "there" "they're"; which one do you choose if you don't know how to spell it?
(A not too long trawl through the threads here will illustrate the weakness of spell checkers).
Ummmm is it "to" "too" or "two" long a trawl.........??
