Hi! I’m looking for an on-line French dictionary that provides the pronounce of the words (not a description about the way it sounds, but the sounds themselves! Just like this website: http://www3.dict.cc does in German). Can somebody help me?

Here are some with audio:

All the best.

When I go to Options –> Spelling, the only option I have in the language dropdown is French. How can I get English to be listed as an option so I can select it? Thanks.

Outlook Express does not have a dictionary of its own. If Microsoft Office is installed alongside OE on the computer, then OE will try to use the Office dictionary files. Unfortunately OE does not recognize the new file format of the Office 2007 English dictionary file. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=932974 "You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system" for more information. The usual solution is to install a third-party spellchecking utility (there are many, some free, some not, just ask Google).
