stop UK spell check in Word switching to US
There doesn't seem to be a feature in Word to let me select UK English
permanently for the dictionary. Sometimes I start off in UK English but then type a word like 'globalization' (which can be spelt with a z or an s in the UK) and from then on the spell check thinks I want to use American spelling. Even in the spell check feature where you can select UK English as a preference, it only does this on a word by word basis and even then switches back when I continue writing. If there could be a feature where you selected which type of english you wanted as standard - and the computer stuck to it rather than switching back and forth - that would be great. |
