thanks, I tried that open and repair, and it too did not help.
When I try to insert a footnote into the Control-A file that I worked over
like Suzanne suggested, I still get a MS Visual Basic error message (runtime
error 424, object.....) or it just crashes ---- and thus it will not let me
insert a note.
The original file before her solution to the language problem, however, does
let me insert notes anywhere.....

Hi, I am not sure what you mean by open and repair a file?
Interestingly, the original files (before I did the Control A procedure
that
solved the speller and autocorrect problems) will let me put endnotes and
footnotes into them, no problem with that. It is only new control A
corrected
file that crashes when I try to put even one note in? JF

Unfortunately, now in these new files they will not let me add
endnotes.
Every attempt to insert notes crashes Word entirely?? Not sure what is
going
on. JF

My book chapter files were copyedited in England and now own my MS
WORD
2003
speller insists on using English (UK) when spell checking these
files.
I have set the MS Word 2003 tools/language default as English
(US),
and
also Windows XP regional/language setting in control panel is set
for
English
(US), but when I work on these files and spell check them, the
speller
STILL
insists on using English (UK) and stopping for all US words that
are
spelled
differently in British English.
How do I permanently, forever, get rid of English (UK) in MS Word
and
Windows XP? I have no use for it.... Thanks.
