| | Spell checker only lets me check in French, not English I have spent many hours trying to get my MS Mail spell checker to check in English. I have gone through the E-mail, spell checker and the only languages it will let me use are French (Canadian) and French (French). I am using MS Works and will not be using MS Office. Strangely, the program does check my spelling in French.. HELP! Thanks, -- Paul |

| | Re: Spell checker only lets me check in French, not English Well, what language/region is your OS set to in the first place? Start/Control Panel/Clock, language/region. Obviously something is French origin or is set to French. -- Peter Toronto, Canada "slowhand" <slowhand@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:5F6F7A8E-9292-4EC7-8785-444A8DBD5F4E@xxxxxx Quote: >I have the same problem please let me know if you find a fix > > "Paul" wrote: > Quote: >> I have spent many hours trying to get my MS Mail spell checker to check >> in >> English.

| | Re: Spell checker only lets me check in French, not English You can't fix it. It's a blunder by MS involving Office 2007.

| | Re: Spell checker only lets me check in French, not English Googleing helps... You need to install the Proofing Tools from a previous version of Office. You'll be cured if you follow these instructions: 1.. Run Setup from another Office installation disk. 2.. Select "Custom Install". 3.. You'll have to insert your Product Key. 4.. Turn Off ALL of the product installations. (Right-Click icon and select "Not Available") 5.. Under "Office Shared Features", set "Proofing Tools" to "Run all from My Computer" This should install the English, French, and Spanish dictionaries. English alone would probably solve the problem, but what the heck? -- Peter Toronto, Canada "karl gruber" <removeskywagon@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:fc2hg7$2e4$1@xxxxxx Quote: > You can't fix it.

I did break down and buy Word 2007, but it still only gives me the choice of French and French.
