Class? Class?

For which software? And how many kids use the computer?

Power eerything down and restart

Telling folk the OS, application and sellchecker that you use would be useful, you know...

My spelcheckr is stuck in French, and that is the only language it offers on the drop down. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Oui, c'est facile

Easy work-around Type your text as usual. Then select and copy it, paste into Google translator. Translate to French, then spell check. Translate back to English and print.

That, or move to France.

Or hire a cute little French maid to help you.

Obviously facetious answer but in fact trying to work with Word or where ever in MS you need to do this, your solution is probably quicker ;)

Maid. Good. Discussion over.

This phenomenon has been around since Office 2007 first came out. You really should keep up.

You mean there is more than one spellchecker application? ;->

Sorta like those xxx-EASY payments in those TV junk ads.

My pc got stuck in Polish after loading a USB driver and all the microsoft generated gray box warnings are in Polish.

Trade you ;-)

The new files (in the Office 97 upgrade we sent you) are incompatible with Outlook Express. You can resolve this issue by installing Windows Live Mail. Windows Live Mail is downloadable from

Installed the Live whatever. Still stuck in French.

sigh .......

Maybe this?

"Live" doesn't have anything to do with it. Outlook (or OE) uses the spell checker provided with Word. With Word 2007 and beyond (Office for XP, etc.), the only spell checker is the French one (Legal reasons to allow Office to be sold in France). If you want a spell-checker, there are ways...

Google is not necessarily your friend, but may be in this one instance.

What??? You're saying there IS no English spell checker for Word 2007, purchased and installed in the USA?

No, dopey. The problem is that the upgrade install of Office 2007 replaces the old spell check libraries for English, French and German, with new ones that are incompatible with Outlook.

I don't think that is SteveB's problem at all.

Steve's problem is that he can't name the software he's referring to. Either that or my news server has missed an important message from him.
