I've changed the default language in Word to English (Canada) however, no
matter what I do I can't seem to eliminate English (US) from the spellcheck. I have used the Language Settings Tool, added Canada and removed US, however the language toolbar still shows US english as acceptable. For instance, Word does not recognize "color" as a spelling error. It should however correct me to write "colour". Why can't I make it do this? Have I overlooked a simple step? Thanks for your help |

Thank you, that was a helpful site because It showed me how to change my
computer settings. However, my major issue still persists. No matter what I do, English (US) still has the ABC checkmark beside it and it still does not recognize "color" as a spelling mistake. So it still, for some reason, is recognizing English (US) as acceptable. For instance, in a normal word document, with the language toolbar added, the pull-down menu has both canada english and us english with the abc checks and they are both above (what I assume) indicates default settings. I hope this doesn't sound really confusing. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: See http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/LangFmt.htm -- Suzanne S.
