Default language setting problem
I live in Australia and as such am forever having to add words to the Office
dictionary that are spelled differently in Australia (and the UK, New Zealand, South Africa and various other English speaking countries for that matter) and having to constantly change the 'default' language setting to English (Australia) every time I open a new document. Is there no way to change my default language for all new word documents from English (US)? |

Default language setting problem
I am having the same problem and have been driven mad by it for years. If
you get any answers, I would be glad to know! If I get any for mine - see below for first ones - i will pass them on to you as well. Good luck. Strangely reassuring to hear it isn't just me.

Default language setting problem
Hi Thangam
Follow the link that Stefan provided (http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/LangFmt.htm.) Once you get Windows, Office and Word all lined up using the same language, life becomes much more straight forward. I've got my machine set up to use Australian English only, and the only time I ever see US English is when I paste from someone else's document, or from a web page that is specifically set up in US English. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "Thangam" wrote in message ... I am having the same problem and have been driven mad by it for years.
