Word 2003: my default language won't change from Welsh to English
In word 2003, my default language for all my documents is Welsh for some
reason. When I try to change the default language to English (UK) the computer tells me that in the future my default language will change to English (UK). Upon restarting word, the language is still Welsh. The only way change the language is to highlight the text I have already written and change the language manually, then it will change to English (until I restart Word 2003 again). I have installed service pack 2 but to no avail. This is a really annoying problem and any help would be useful. |

Word 2003: my default language won't change from Welsh to English
Click on Start | Control Panel | Regional & Language
Options | Languages | Details | Settings. What is the default input language? Open a Word document in which this problem occurs. Press Ctrl+A to select all of the text. Click on Tools | Language | Set Language | choose your language | uncheck the "Detect language automatically" and "Do not check spelling or grammar" boxes | Default | OK. This change will affect the current document and all new documents you create from this point forward. You will have to make this change individually in your existing documents. Is Adobe Acrobat 7.0 installed on the computer? If yes, then the Acrobat 7.0 Create Adobe PDF toolbar add-in for Word prevents Word from automatically saving changes to the normal.dot template (which is where some language settings are stored). See http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331259.html for several solutions to the problem.
