Outlook Express spell check language?

After not using OutlookEexp. for a while, I now find that the language in spell check if French? How do I change to English ? TY

Satellite P35-S6053
..has office 2007
Somehow someone??? changed the spell check langauge to french ?
Nobody did it. Office 2007 is the culprit.
Outlook Express has no spell checker of its own. Rather, it uses whatever it can find. When Office 2007 was installed, most of the spell checking files were replaced with versions incompatible with Outlook Express.
   You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook Express 6.0 after you in...
Turns out that French still works.
Downloading a free spell checker is the simplest way around this.
Vampirefo is a popular solution.
   From Major Geeks
   From SnapFiles
Or you may like tinySpell, which checks the spelling as you type.
If you have a previous version of Office handy, see Office 2007 and OE Spell Check.

Why does Apple charge for spell check while MS Word offers it for free?

I have been using MS Office for Mac until recently when I could not open PowerPoint files sent to me. I bought iWork '08 to remedy that and right after I installed it, Spell Catcher said my trial period was up and that I could buy it. Of course, I'm NOT going to buy it! I tried running a spell check in Pages but it did not pick up on all of my purposely misspelled words. Do I really have to PAY for spell checking? I am not impressed with iWork '08!
As a side note: Does anyone notice how difficult it is to get into Discussions recently? Is it beacause of iPhone traffic?

Spell Catcher is not something that is installed with iWork as far as I am aware, I have spell check built in to Pages and keynote and I have never seen any mention of "spell catcher"
This is the company that makes SpellCatcher: http://www.rainmakerinc.com/
They are not affiliated with Apple. In fact, No development has occurred since last year.

How can I enforce automatic spell checking for selected fields of data entered by form users?

I'd like to be able to enforce spell checking of selected fields in the forms that I've created using LiveCycle Designer 8.2 at run time, as opposed to design time. I understand the version LCD 8 has a nifty new spell checker for form designers. But I want to spell check the data entered by users using Acrobat Reader. And I want to enforce the spell checking automatically on selected fields only.
Presently it seems that users filling in my forms, must know how to manually right-click on each field and select "Spell Check" from the resulting dialog box in order to check for spelling errors in the data the user has entered in the form.
I would like to discover a way to enforce spell checking in selected fields, just as I am able to do in forms created using Acrobat Pro. In Acrobat Pro, I can set a property for each field to require spell checking. but that feature seems to be missing in Livecycle Designer.
I've check the Object model for XFA forms hoping that I might find a method I can call with a Javascript, to check spelling based on an event such as onBlur. But I haven't found a spell check method.
Am I missing something simple? Is there a way to set each field to be spell checked when a user is filling in the form using the free Acrobat Reader?
Our users are not sophisticated and requiring them to spell check each field separately just won't cut it...
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi David,
Two things...
At design time set the locale of the form to one that Acrobat spell checks. For example English (US) and English (UK) locales have spell checkers; however English (Ireland) does not. Check the Warnings tab to see if spell checking is supported for your locale.
If your form locale supports spell checking then you can go to the button script below.
If you form locale does NOT support spell checking then Stephanie has a great work around to force spell checking (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2233945#2233945).
Bring a regular button onto the form and in the click event have the following:
app.execMenuItem("Spelling:Check Spelling");
Which will open the spell checker for all fields. Thanks to Paul for extracting all of the accessible menu items (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1912914#1912914).
Good luck,
Niall

Pages IWORK'08 spell check doesn't work--here's the fix

Pages stopped spell checking. Some suggested deleting com.apple.iwork.pages.plist off the HD in case Pages was corrupted so it could rebuild the spell check feature but that was not necessary in my case. Here is the painless fix.
-Open a pages document
-Go to Edit and SELECT ALL
-Then go to INSPECTOR text (blue T) MORE and be sure language is set to English, then close out of Inspector
-Go to EDIT, SPELLING and set “check spelling as you type” or "Check spelling"
Just remember that PAGES needs to know what you want to do so you have to SELECT ALL for it to check everything on the document.

That is not sufficient if you have not also corrected your Text Styles to the appropriate language.
Text is styled with a language, usually the default, just as it is with a font or color.
Unless you update all your styles and use them, every time you reintroduce new text or use those like Free Form you will have text with either the wrong language or no language.

ALL CAPS spell-check?

Is there a way to spell-check ALL CAPS text in an Acrobat document as one can in Word?

Here's what I am trying to do. I have a form that I created using Adobe Livecycle Designer. The end user will fill in the form fields in the dynamic PDF form. One of the form fields allows users to type in free text such as a description etc. As they are typing in mixed upper-lower case sentences the spell-checker highlights any misspelled words. If the end user types everything in CAPS the spell checker will not work. Microsoft Word has the ability/option to spell check all caps. Acrobat apparently does not.

Can someone in the Community please tell me the following
How do I switch on the Spell check on this model?
Thanks
Daniel

Spell check in Web Dynpro for Java?

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement from our client to have Spelling Checking integrated with our custom Web Dynpro Java application as we have quite a few free text fields that needs to be completed.
We are quite perplexed with this as we are not aware of any such thing available.
Do you perhaps know of how to impliment such an option - presuming that it is available?
Kind Regards,
Christiaan

Hi
Promise this time u will not say "Thanks for nothing".(It might we don't have any reply for that or most of time question doesn't contain full explanations )
Check FormattedTextEdit UI element (Just check it might helpful , available in CE versions onlyl)
Webdynpro doesn't have such kind of inbuilt feature.
See this [thread |Spell Check -] ,[this |http://jazzy.sourceforge.net/] and [this|http://foundeo.com/spell-checker/?gclid=CJHhuf31sJkCFRMupAodqUFs6A] for further input

SPELL CHECKER

As typing in a spell checker mode.
Is it possible to have the "red underline" also make a sound. Example, at the same time as the red is displayed, sound a "tink" or other user selectable sound.
This will alert the user to look at the screen and "delete" the misspelled item then as later. Correcting at that point then will avoid having to use the mouse to return to the error.
Thanks

Oh, I can toss in my two cents here.... I've used Spell Catcher Plus for years on my Window's (and feel now, that I wouldn't even want to own a computer without it). They came out now, with a Mac version (although not as good as the windows version) but that's really splitting hairs, I would suggest forgetting all about "everything else" and giving it a try... It's like one of those things were I would say "metaphorically speaking" that if you don't like it 100,000% I would pay you back the money myself... however you can try it for free at download.com - but - just to give credit where credit is do - nothing on the planet has even come close to the Searching Ability of Franklins Speaking edition "spellers" (absolutely STELLAR) I even to this day need to go use it when the spell checkers on the computer cant find my spelling mistake. Boy if I could work for spell catcher plus, Franklin dictionary, and Snagit - I would make myself the Frankenstein - the likes of which no one has ever seen.... Send mail to get Snagit to make an Apple version (I already have Snapz) Snagit rules; but I'm keeping my desktop a Windows....

The help section says I have to have MicroSoft Office installed ????
Thanks ( again ) Eric

I am aware of 2 spell check apps that you can use in OS 9 - Spell Tools & Excalibur. I used Spell Tools beginning with OS 8. I never used Excalibur. Spell Tools no longer is available for download, but if you send me an email (click on my Apple Name), I'll send you the installer. Excalibur can be downloaded from the link below.

Spell check in tenfourfox

is there a global dictionary either in TenFourFox browser OR in the 10.4 Tiger OS??
I have a few words that will not correct I think I may have added them to (some) dictionary
but spell check works in word for instance but not on the browsers - at least not tenfourfox.

I would not trust spotlight to find the correct file. Spotlight found 13 copies of persdict.dat where as Find Any File found three. You need to verify the path:
Here is the path. Note: mac is my short user name. Yours will be different. Start in you home folder. Then find the Library folder. Continue.
MS Word will not let me edit persdict.dat
You need to use TextEdit. Look in the applications folder.
I have found that spotlight is inconsistent in Tiger when searching by filename. To search by filename, try:
FindAnyFile
"This is a free program for Mac OS 10.4 and later that lets you search for files on your disks, primarily on HFS formatted ones." FindAnyFile allows you to search for all files on your harddrive. Do the search from an administrator account. Hold down the option key then click on return.

Writing in pages in Afrikaans. Spellcheck keep on correcting to dutch. Switched off spell check and checkeed keyaboard settings. Where do I get languages other than what Apple offer and where is the dictionary, Library, spelling files.

Writing in pages in Afrikaans. Spellcheck keep on correcting to dutch. Switched off spell check and also looked in System preferences - keyboard. this stops the "Auto-correct" but does not help me with Afrikaans or other language spell check. Where do I get languages other than what Apple offer and where is the dictionary, Library, spelling files.

You are basically limited to what Apple deigns to offer.
Try LibreOffice [free] which has a huge selection of languages.
