For some unexplained reason the spellcheck on my e-mails (Outlook) has changed to French making every word wrong.
When I try to change it back the only option given is French.
Anyone know how I can change it back to English?

Which version of Outlook? 2003? 2007?
I have Outlook 2003, and do Tools -> Options -> Spelling tab, and at the bottom under International Dictionaries I can choose any of four versions of English, two of French and one of Spanish! (No idea if anything other than English (UK) actually works, though...)0 -

Like it says it was caused because I updated Office to 2007.
Thanks agin.0 -
That refers to Outlook Express whereas your original post said Outlook - a different animal!0
