Word 2003 Dictionary Language
I have a doccument that I wrote in English and how for some reason when I try
to spell check it my system is using a French dictionary. I checked MS Office 2003 Language Settings and the only enabled language is English (US). I had this problem once before and accidentially figured out how to change the dictionary back to English but cannot recall how I did it? Any suggestions -- MungMan Chicago, IL |

Word 2003 Dictionary Language
Hi ?B?TXVuZ01hbg==?=,
I have a doccument that I wrote in English and how for some reason when I try to spell check it my system is using a French dictionary. I checked MS Office 2003 Language Settings and the only enabled language is English (US). I had this problem once before and accidentially figured out how to change the dictionary back to English but cannot recall how I did it? Have you tried Ctrl+A, then Tools/Language/Set language, choosing English? And while you'rein this dialog box, check if the "Detect language automatically" checkbox is activated? If it is, that would/could explain how you ended up with French.

Word 2003 Dictionary Language
Language is a text formatting parameter. If you copy material from the
internet then you have no control over what language parameter is already applied to that text. One way to ensure it matches the text you paste into is to use edit paste special unformatted text. Otherwise its a matter of changing the language of the document to your own requirements (CTRL+A Tools Language Set language - and while in that dialog ensure automatically detect language is unchecked). -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Confused Charley wrote: You saved my sanity.
