Default How do you stop word from defaulting to US bloody English? Ple

Danny,

No I am not the USA. Just one of the "they" that you mentioned with such
contempt. If you wish to apologize that is one thing. If not that is fine
too. However, while I won't go off starting fires at your embassies over
your offensive remark, I will take it how I think it was meant.

Perhaps you should brush up on your history. If it weren't for past
cooperation and friendship between the Americans and Austrailians we prehaps
would be having our little spat in Japanese. Then we wouldn't have had the
language problem to start with.

Greg, are you the USA, don't take things so personally.

Jezebel,

You are no fun. I would have left him groping for a while ;-)

Calm down. Obscene though US imperialism might be, it doesn't
actually extend its nefarious tentacles this far.

Set the language for your computer as a whole: go to Regional and
Language settings on the Control Panel and change the language from
US English to something civilized.

Set the langauge for Word: set the language for normal style to
English (Australian). Set other styles if necessary, although most
styles ulitmately inherit from Normal, so you probably won't need
to.

Set the language for the document: select the lot, then use Tools
Language.

Is there a simple way of keeping English (Australian) as the
default spell checker. I change it for one word and it just keeps
going back to the US version. What is it with the US can't they
accept anything else???
