spell check not working
my spell checker on my new pc will not work automatically.
I have to highlight my text, go to tools, language, set language, select English UK from the list and untick 'detect language automatically' otherwise it won't work. Everytime I go back to it it seems to have selected Welsh from the list. Is there a way of setting this without going through all of these options? |

spell check not working
"Detect language automatically" is notoriously unreliable; we advise
clearing that check box by default. If you clear the check box, select the correct language, and then click Default..., that should do the trick, but see http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/LangFmt.htm -- Suzanne S.

spell check not working
Hi Suzanne,
Thanks for that, although it works it only works in that particular document. Every time I open a new doc Im right at the beginning again and it doesn't seem to save the settings. The check box's are still clear but it has selected Welsh as the language and I then have to select English as the default and have highlighted the text in the document for it to commence the spell check. Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thanks Victoria "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: "Detect language automatically" is notoriously unreliable; we advise clearing that check box by default.

Have you changed the language in Windows Regional Options? You may also need
to explicitly change it for Normal.dot. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...alTemplate.htm -- Suzanne S.
