everytime i change the default languge it goes back to french
I tried the same (Word 2007 on Vista) - I did what was described at the
swissonline URL you provided, disabling English (Canada) in Microsoft Office Tools and leaving only English (United States) enabled, which is what I want. It didn't work. I open a new doc and it still defaults to English (Canada) - which should be impossible if that language is not enabled! And the only enabled language that shows up in the box under Office Tools is English (United States)... makes no sense. I've tried other options like changing the default language in Word Options, etc. It still defaults to English (Canada) every time. I'm getting tired of having to reset every new document manually.

I have another weird one along the same lines. I have one document, and one
document alone, that after doing all the suggestions here, when I spell check it, it switches to checking in French. This is eve n after I disabled French as a language. Any other suggestions?

everytime i change the default languge it goes back to french
Here is th fix for Office 2007:
Fix for Spell Check malfunction in MS office 2007: It has been noticed that in some cases after install Office 2007 the spell checker may cease to work properly and will be stuck in French mode. If this occurs: 1. Exit all Microsoft Office Applications 2. Run Regedit.exe. 3. Delete the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0\Override\en-US Once you restart the application it will work correctly.

everytime i change the default languge it goes back to french
I met a similar problemnow, in 2010:
My PC & Office 2007 are both configured to Czech language. Recently I got a document written in Czech whereas the language in it was (incorrectly) set to Slovak. To avoid ridiculous spell-checking I changed the language to Czech, expecting that all becomes OK by itself. But the red underlining did not disappear. When I manually started spell checking, the "Slovak language" came back, instead. After that, I was seeking and found this post I am just replying to. I was ready to delete the Registry key, as Chris was advising, but I found no such key in the Registry. To continue my effort I heuristically tried to change the document format from 2003 to 2007, checked & unchecked the Compatibility mode, but it brought no result. Evidently, there still is an error of this kind in Word 2007. Does anybody know a solution? This is not the only shortcoming concernig spell-checking I have met in Word 2007. I was used to provide some specific text strings (which in fact were not words of the language but abbreviations etc.) by the "do not spell-check" attribute to avoid red underlining. I didn't find this facility in Word 2007 any more. When I want to get rid of useless and incorrect red underlining, I must do things like create a new style with this attribute and apply it, but to simply select a piece of text regardless of paragraph boundaries and assign "do not spell-check" works no more.

When you changed the language, did you have all the text selected?

everytime i change the default languge it goes back to french
Dear Suzanne,
yes, I had the whole text selected. I tried the same thing now again, after some 3 weeks, and must make my information more accurate: Red underlining of misspelled words disappeared, it is OK from this point of view, but blue underlining (just it was my major problem) remained. In general, grammatical rules are comparatively severe and it is nearly unavoidable (e.g. in column headers) to write a correctly spelled header, whereas its "grammatical regularity" can be hardly obtained. I have Word 2003 no more installed, and though I am working in the same manner as before, I do not remember to be bored by blue underlining while working with Word 2003 "Suzanne S.

indicates "contextual spelling," which is new in 2007. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Jiris" wrote in message ...
