Spellchecker not working in word/outlook etc. ajja[ at ]btinternet.com 27.08.2006 17:35:18 Hi, I've just installed Micorsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 on my PC. For some reason the spellcheck function is not working as it should. I have set my language as English (UK) in the MS office 2003 settings. For some reason when I check my language in word it in the list it shows three languages in the list above the line; English (US), English (UK), and Welsh. I have set it to default to English UK. The Welsh line is always the one marked in blue when I look at this option. I have nothing against the Welsh, but I would like my machine to work in English....... The only way I have been able to get it to work at all was when I selected English (UK) within word as default language and unchecked the detect language automatically. Has anyone got any ideas of how I can convince my machine that I do not speak Welsh and get it to work in English? Having read some of the topics on here it's worth stating that word docs have been viewed previous to this intall using wordpad, and that no word documents from any source other than this machine have been used on this PC with Microsoft Word.

Re: Spellchecker not working in word/outlook etc. ajja[ at ]btinternet.com 29.08.2006 07:36:55 I had already done all that and ended up taking the software off, and re-installing it. It now works fine, but does not explain how it seemed to think I was Welsh the first time round. Now got it working in English (UK) as required. Thanks anyway Jay.
