Default Setting language

Ctrl+A is a good first step in any case. Ctrl+Spacebar is either unnecessary
or should do the trick. That is, Ctrl+Spacebar returns text to the default
paragraph font; if it removes discrepant language formatting, then it would
be sufficient. If it doesn't, then it's pointless, since you'll need to
apply the correct language anyway.

I've had this problem too. What about CTRL-spacebar to remove all language
settings in the document. And then CTRL A and apply the default 'correct'
language on the OP's machine?

Despite your best efforts, US English can ride in on a single (pasted)
character, and if it happens to be at the insertion point, then

everything
you type thereafter will be in US English, which you may not realize

till
you spell check. But see

Hi,
I am using Word 2003. I change the default language to English

(UK)
but
it is constantly changing itself back to English (US) & I find that

I'm
checking my spelling in American. Crumbs I love America & even

Americans
but I'm getting really fed up with constantly changing the default.

Is there a way of removing the other languages thus forcing it to use
English (UK)?

God bless America ;-)

Roy
