Dictionary Problem with Outlook Express since installing IE8 Beta

[Deacon777]

I installed IE8 Beta on my xp pro3 and have had no real issues with the
program. But, after installing it my Outlook Express Dictionary was changed
from English to French. That is the only language available in the drop down.
In checking for information about Outlook Express, MS's info states that the
IE installed effects the Outlook Express installed.

This has made to believe that IE8 Beta must be the culprit.
Any suggestions to repair the problem?

The behavior has nothing to do with installing IE8 Beta. It has everything
to do with installing Office 2007:

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in OE6
after you install Office 2007

The spell checker in Office 2007 is not compatible with OE6. Try one of
these free spell checkers instead:

Vampirefo's Spell Checker for OE 2.x
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

TinySpell (checks spelling as you type)
http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/

Australian English Spell Check
(Also suitable for other English speaking countries.)

If you have an earlier version of Office available as well, see:

I too installed Office 2007 and had the same trouble with OE Spellchecker.
Many thanks PA Bear, after much trouble trying to sort it out, your solution
was simple and worked brilliantly

Australian English spellen chucker? Crikies m8 we speak kangaroo and our
Sovereign is a British Queen.

Ref: "A short history of Australia" - Clark. The "real" Australians don't
speak English and the only written history is cave paintings and rock art.
