internet explorer outlook express question

i have a stupid question for the computer savy folks.

in I.E.-O.E, my spell checker is french. i click on tools=options=spelling, and go to language, the only language listed is french.

Mine did that a long time ago. Can't remember what I did. I have a drop down menu there with French, English, German and Spanish.

Did you recently upgrade Office? If so apparently what you have is an unwanted side effect. Easiest way out, I`m told, is just to download a free spelling checker to fix the problem.

since i have no idea what office is, i will have to say no i did not upgrade it.
the only thing with adding a spellchecker is that spell checkers do not work in email programs. you have to use the outlook express spell checker.

The issue is caused my Microsoft and their infinite stupidity..

They changed the spell checker in Office 2007 and the default was French..

You need to either install proofing tools from an earlier version of Office or a third party dictionary like ISpell..
