Default Formal English

My professor reccomended me to change my English setting to formal English.
I've been searching all over the place in MS help and whatnot and I still
cannot figure out how to change the language setting. Does anyone know how? I
have MS 2003.
THANKS!

The grammar checker in Word 2003 no longer has the overall settings for
"Formal English" and other varieties. Instead, it has individual settings
for a number of possible grammatical problems. You may want to start by
checking all of these.

Thank you! I think I fixed it for that so far. Now it is just a matter of me
learning all about formal English and its guidlines. lol
