How do I remove US english from the spell check?
I wish to remove the us english settings from my MS word, so that if I type
say 'color' by mistake that it will not accept it as a correct word. It should give me 'colour' as the correct spelling. |

The default language for Word is that set in Windows regional settings.
Word will only spell check using the language defined for the text - see tools language set language (set to UK English or whatever) and uncheck the box 'Detect language automatically'. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org jeamsu wrote: I wish to remove the us english settings from my MS word, so that if I type say 'color' by mistake that it will not accept it as a correct word.

Graham,
For other languages you are right, but for English English for England this is not correct. You can not remove the US English for America setting. Antony PS I would dearly love this bug to be fixed.

How do I remove US english from the spell check?
I have already told you earlier in the thread how to stop Word from checking
with US spellings. To Remove the US regional settings Control panel regional and language options languages details - select UK and delete US. It will be removed next time you reboot. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Ant wrote: Please tell me how to remove the US English settings then.
