Re: English Spell Checker Switched to French!

I just installed Office 2007 final and now my spell checker
uses a French dictionary rather than English to check my
spelling. Of course, since I type in English, most words are
flagged as wrong. How can I get English back? It's not listed
as a choice in Tools/Options/Spelling.

I'm so glad! I just posted this over in the OE group:

So, I had Office 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh installed, and all was well:
OE6 (XP SP2) saw Office's U.S. English proofing tools just fine.

I uninstalled the beta and installed Office 2007 final.

Since that time, the only language listed in OE is French, and indeed, those
are the only words it knows now.

I've confirmed that the U.S. English proofing tools are installed and that
(as expected) they're the default in Word, where, BTW, English
spell-checking works fine.

So...is there perhaps a Registry entry I can check that tells OE where to
look for the proofing tools, or perhaps the languages?

Note that OE is not displaying any error when spell-checking, it just
obliviously thinks I'm French now and has that as the only choice of
language in Tools/Options/Spelling.

Thanks
