Hi,
I just purchased a pc with Vista, set up Verizon with MSN and when sending
an email it spell checks in French not English. Verizon has sent me to their
MSN tech whose sent me to Microsoft whose sent me to MSN whose sent me back
to Verizon who won't answer any questions.

I just did a search of the MSN.Discussion newsgroup and found two threads for
this exact problem:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?query=spell+check&dg=microsoft.public.msn.discussion&cat=en_US_029dc2aa-43db-4aab-96cb-b43ef9773184&lang=en&cr=US&pt=&catlist=&dglist=&ptlist=&exp=&sloc=en-us
The gist of it is that it is caused by an incomptibility between MSN Explorer
and Word 2007's dictionary.

In July, a post was made indicating that it was fixed in the latest version of
MSN Explorer. It is possible that your branded version of MSN Explorer is not
fixed yet.

I'm going to paste a section from the February thread, where Peter F.
recommended that the solution was to install a free spell checker -
"Vampirefo:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

TinySpell:
http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/ ; (Checks the spelling as you type).

Or from:
http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/11/13/80"

An alternative is to install the Dictionary from an Office 2003 installation,
though I'm not sure how you'd manage that.
