Outlook stuck in French
Submitted by smartmom on March 24, 2008 - 8:35am.
Ok this is going to drive CrAzY....for some reason my outlook is stuck in French as the language for spell check. If I drop the box down my ONLY option is French! It was never a issue before - what happened no clue. I ran a scan for any viruses - trojans - worms and nothing. Anyone else have this issue or have had this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it as I would like to spell check things....
I checked all of the accounts and there fine - I don't get it. Gurrrr.....

haha! That happened to me this year when I went to Office 2007. But I didn't know about the Snapfile Spellchecker. To get Microsoft's spellcheck, I had to install the "Proofing Tools" from my old Office 2003 install disk. What you do is disable everything else in MS Office from installing and only enable the "Proofing Tools". This choice is at the bottom of the menu where you pick what Office applications to install.
Moral - never throw away old programs. Anyone need Windows 95B on floppies?

Here is Microsofts article on it:
You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system
Spell Checker For OE from Snapfiles is free and should take care of your problem.

No it's the craziest thing. It's been this way for a while. I'm almost think it happened the one time when that idiot did that code to joke a friend and turned my myspace into Japanese. But that only affected my myspace and it was Japanese and not French. Chances are that's not related but it's driving me CraZy!!!! All of my other office settings are English only this one?!?!?!
