Default Word 2003 Dictionary Language

You saved my sanity. I had removed Office 2003 and reloaded it and still had
the same problem.

How do I make sure I always have my documents in english US?

The original document was down loaded from the internet!! could that have
been the proble??

Thanks again

Hi ?B?TXVuZ01hbg==?=,

I have a doccument that I wrote in English and how for some reason when I try
to spell check it my system is using a French dictionary. I checked MS Office
2003 Language Settings and the only enabled language is English (US). I had
this problem once before and accidentially figured out how to change the
dictionary back to English but cannot recall how I did it?

Have you tried Ctrl+A, then Tools/Language/Set language, choosing English?

And while you'rein this dialog box, check if the "Detect language automatically"
checkbox is activated? If it is, that would/could explain how you ended up with
French.
