Thanks Connie, I am leary of downloads, too much junk attached. I will just have to brush up on my spelling and not be so lazy. No, I don't speak French although I do live in the area of Louisiana heavily influenced by the Acadians. Not many of them speak French anymore, and the French here is influenced by other cultures.

Connie Yesterday I asked: Didn't Outlook Express have a spell checker? I see it on the tool bar, but it doesn't know how to spell anything. It questions every word. I don't feel like teaching a spell checker how to spell. I went through the first two paragraphs and added 25 words to the spell checker. Today I looked at Tools, Options, Spelling. The language listed is French (France) That is my only option. No wonder spell checker can't spell any of the words I write. How can I change the language to English (US)? It must be something deeper into the program than Tools.
