Can anyone help me get an English dictionary applied to my email writer (Internet Explorer) because the only language option it offers for a mispelt word is a French one? All this happened after an upgrade?????? to Word 2007. When I tried the usual spellcheck on a lengthy email I only got French words. This means ANY word it does not recognise as French it says is spelt wrong. Help seems to be of no use at all (why is it called Help?) In my writing I can easily change a submssion from UK to USA spellings and back depending where I am sending it so I know how to do that, but Internet Exploere does not seem to have that option. Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Also check that your antivirus isn't getting in the way - we have recently helped a French neighbour using Vista, whose Anti-virus and Defender were at war, and wouldn't let him open email attachments, though his wife could open hers. We deinstalled AVG 2011 which took forever, then installed the latest version really quickly, and all is well.
I don't use IE, but being a Microsoft product, it may have a similar problem to that of our friends.
Forgive me if this sounds patronising, but you do know to click the little arrow next to where it says French to get the list of choices? Only asking, as that's something a friend of mine didn't realise.
Phot's Moll. Yes somehow I have got a Frecn version, but only for the emails. Everywhere else I have the muli-languge option. It is most perplexing.
My thanks to bertiebear and others.
