When I open a new blank doc which I presume is the normal.dot template and
then go to Tools, Language, Set Language. I see both English Australian and
English US ticked. English Australian is at the top and English US is
underneath and ticked also. Do they both have to be ticked for some reason?
My Region and language is set for Australia.

Why can't I just have English Australian selected?

TIA

Thanks Stefan for that information. All the years I have been using Word I
have never understood this. I don't think people realise how complicated
Word really is.

Thanks B.W.

You are welcome. And, indeed, setting the language is more complicated in
recent versions of Word.
