default language - spell checker "RoS" <kermit[ at ]bigpond.net.au> 10.07.2006 23:49:51 All my Word documents are in UK English. I have US English on the language bar as well to enable me to use the keyboard symbols easily but spell checking in Word is in UK English. Now I have downloaded some web pages and want to print some of the information contained in them. I want to copy the pages into Word and then amend the text and delete some of the graphics. The problem I have found is that the spelling and grammar checker constantly reverts to US English while I am using it. Can this be altered so that the default and only language used for this function is UK English? Regards, RoS

What worked for me was Edit | Select all (or CTRL-A), then Tools | Language | physically click on required language so that it is highlighted (not just underlined), then click on OK. Save (STRL-S)

Re: default language - spell checker <aalaan[ at ]tpg.com.au> 11.07.2006 01:25:29 .... which should read CTRL-S of course.

Re: default language - spell checker "RoS" <kermit[ at ]bigpond.net.au> 11.07.2006 08:01:48 I think it might have. If so many thanks. I'll do a detailed check later and confirm. RoS

Re: default language - spell checker <aalaan[ at ]tpg.com.au> 11.07.2006 19:00:28 Ros Always quote at least part of the message you're replying to (usually all of it) so that people can keep track of the thread! Also, how did it go? I'm a relative newbie myself so would be thrilled if I actually helped someone.
