That's as it should be now. The automatic detect language is the problem. As
soon as you open a US derived document or email, the automatic detect was
switching you to English (US) - which isn't what you want!

: Hi
:
: Thanks for that. In Word the language is set to UK but above the line is
: also US. I've defaulted it to UK and also unticked the box to "detect
: language automatically". Is this better do you think?

: Why are you checking the spelling of incoming emails?
:
: Goto StartControl PanelRegional and language settings
: On the regional 'Options' tab -
: change 'Standards and formats' to 'English (United Kingdom)'
: change 'Location' to 'United Kingdom'
:
: On the 'Advanced' tab
: change the 'Language for non-Unicode programs' to 'English (United
: Kingdom)'
:
: You could also make sure that the language for MS-Word is also set
: correctly
: Goto ToolsLanguageSet language and select 'English (UK)'
:
: By doing this your computer shouldn't know of any other language and the
: problem will be resolved.
