How to stop AutoCorrect (Word) opening in the wrong language?
I mostly use English (South Africa), which is a version of English (UK) in my
documents, but I find, on my new laptop, that calling up AutoCorrect (in Word) for the purposes of making an entry, frequently gives me the English (US) word list instead. This is unsatisfactory, as the mistakes, abbreviations, etc which I want corrected in South African English do not necessarily have the same correct form in US English, which I must also use from time to time. In any case, Word should not be doing this, even if it were not a problem for me... Any help would be appreciated. Ian |

Have you looked at ToolsLanguageSet language and make sure the
language you are using is set as the default? Regards. Bill Ridgeway Computer Solutions "IanJ" wrote in message ...
