Setting language
When I open a new blank doc which I presume is the normal.dot template and
then go to Tools, Language, Set Language. I see both English Australian and English US ticked. English Australian is at the top and English US is underneath and ticked also. Do they both have to be ticked for some reason? My Region and language is set for Australia. Why can't I just have English Australian selected? TIA B.W. |

Setting language
The check marks indicate which languages are currently installed. To set a
default language, select it and press the Default button.

Thanks Stefan for that information. All the years I have been using Word I
have never understood this. I don't think people realise how complicated Word really is. Thanks B.W. "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

You are welcome. And, indeed, setting the language is more complicated in
recent versions of Word. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "B.W." wrote in message ... Thanks Stefan for that information. All the years I have been using Word I have never understood this.
