Getting rid of UK English--MS Word 2003 Speller
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. |

Ctrl+A (Select All) and use Tools | Language | Set Language to change the
language setting to English (U.S.). Note that Ctrl+A selects the document body only; you may need to change the language for headers, footers, footnotes, endnotes, etc., separately. -- Suzanne S.

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 "removing all headers and footers" wrote: Great! It now works fine.

Getting rid of UK English--MS Word 2003 Speller
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 "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Surely not language-related. Perhaps the document is corrupt?

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.

Getting rid of UK English--MS Word 2003 Speller
Actually, I have now checked the other 13 chapters that were copyedited in
Britain, and they crash when I try to insert an endnote before and after I do Suzanne's suggestion of Control A and set language. The select and set language suggestion works for these, but then they too crash when I try to insert notes. I think she is right, these note insertion crashes are a different issue. Any idea on how to correct them? Could it be a template issue? thanks, JF "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: She already said she can edit footnotes if she doesn't change the language.

Getting rid of UK English--MS Word 2003 Speller
This suggests that some code is running in the document (although googling
that error message turns up a plethora of confusing information). I'm going to cross-post this to microsoft.public.word.application.errors, where it may attract the attention of readers who might be more knowledgeable about such errors. For a start, though, try starting Word in Office Safe Mode (press Ctrl while it is loading) and see if you experience the problem there. If not, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm for general troubleshooting steps regarding Normal.dot, the Registry, add-ins, and so on. On the face of it, I would suspect an add-in. -- Suzanne S.

Okay, this means that there is an InsertFootnote macro running in place of
Word's built-in command because you wouldn't see anything in the VBE otherwise. Someone seems to have created an entirely unnecessary Footnote Wizard. Go to Tools | Macro | Macros, find the InsertFootnote or macro, make sure it's in the document itself (set "Macros in" to the active document, not "All active templates and documents" or "Word commands"), and delete it. As a matter of curiosity, do you have this same problem if you use Ctrl+Alt+F (which should invoke the InsertFootnoteNow command)? If so, that shortcut may have been assigned to the InsertFootnote macro. -- Suzanne S.

When I try to insert an endnote into these files, I get that numbered error
message and then when I go into debug in Visual Basic at bottom of error message, I get this further comment stuff. Is this helpful?: InsertFootnote() 'First, make sure IP is in a valid location to insert footnote If Selection.ShapeRange.Count 0 Then MsgBox "Insertion Point (IP) can not be in a frame or textbox" & vbCrLf _ & "when inserting a footnote." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf _ & "Please place the IP in the text of the document where you " & vbCrLf _ & "want to insert the note reference mark and try again.", vbInformation, "Footnote Wizard" And could this be some sort of conflict with the styles and formatting stuff , of which there is a lot in these files.
