How do I switch the dictionary language in Word 2003?
I want to save my default dictionary language (for spell checks) to English
UK and it keeps popping back to English US. Can't seem to figure out how to make it stick. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! |

How do I switch the dictionary language in Word 2003?
The language is a formatting parameter of the text. The usual reason for
switching is pasting text from a web page. You can minimise the problem by setting tools language set language uncheck 'automatically detect' (There's a similar option in Word 2007). Any text reporting the wrong language can be selected (CTRL+A) and the correct language re-applied. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Marycciu wrote: I want to save my default dictionary language (for spell checks) to English UK and it keeps popping back to English US.

How do I switch the dictionary language in Word 2003?
I have the same issue and have set my dictionary to English (US) and
unchecked the Auto detect language but during the spell check, about 2/3 into the doc, the dictionary switches to French. I can't seem to "force" the spell check to be in English only - any other suggestions? Thanks. "Graham Mayor" wrote: The language is a formatting parameter of the text.

How do I switch the dictionary language in Word 2003?
Apperently my problem was that a document sent to me was partially formatted
in French which seems to override the local language settings - once in the document I clicked on Format Reveal Formatting and the scrolled through the document and towards the bottom I noticed the language change - once I changed it back to English the spell checker check in the entire doc in English only.
