Word keeps defaulting to Welsh... Dozymare 25.07.2006 11:46:02 I've tried Tools>language>set language and changed it to English UK, I've tried setting UK as the default and ticking and unticking the autodetect box. I've also tried using the Microsoft Office Tools thing to remove welsh from the supported list. A colleague sent me her normal.dot template (which is English UK) which I restored over my own (which is Welsh) but nothing improved. Any ideas? My spell check refuses to work as it thinks its Welsh. I can highlight a load of text and change it to English, but this is a pain.

Re: Word keeps defaulting to Welsh... "L Jazz" <lwando[ at ]mailbox.co.za> 18.08.2006 13:58:45 First things first, with language problems, you must first make sure that the language in the regional settings on the control panel is set to the language that you want to use. After you have set this, then reboot your pc and make sure that word is set to the same language and also outlook. All programs that use word as the editor should reset to the language set in the regional settings, but we are dealing with MS here and we can't take things for granted that they'll work as they should. If this fails go back to the regional settings and delete the other language services in the language tab >> details button, to make sure that the system has only one language service to deal with; lets not confuse the poor MS OS. This should sort out your problem. By the way, this solution also sorts out a problem you might have of not being able to add words to your custom dictionary or the "add to dictionary button is greyed out" when you want to add a new word to the dictionary. Hope this is of use to you.
