 |
|
I have changed the language to UK English and set it as default, but whenever
I do a spell check it keeps reverting to US English!!
PLEASE help, I can't figure out why it only seems to spell check in US
English.
Thanks.
I am using Office for Mac V.X with OS X 10.4.10 |

Until you get an informed opinion, I'll make a few suggestions that I've
discovered by trial and error (lost of both) over the years:
It seems that on new documents it inherits the chosen dictionary from
the template. The default template is normal.dot - I recall spell
checking that in UK English then saving the document.
I suspect that each document has its own language setting (in case you
want to author a book in Swahili) and once set it's devilishly difficult
to persuade it otherwise. This primarily affects documents sent to you
by foreigners, once you get the first bit right.

It's a most annoying thing! Even when you change it once - remembering to
"select all", it soon returns to US English (or other language).
Is it possible to eradicate "Garbage" English from my computer? |

I have the same problem. It always wants to spell check in US English not
English (UK) English. I don't even have a normal.dot file on my hard drive,
so I can't set it in that. |
