I default to Can English, then whenever I paste something from another
source, it switches to US English, and it's really annoying. Please, if I
change default to Can English, let it stay there...for all time.

Hi, Im thought I'd try this as in Word2003, as I often find myself losing
persoanl settings in Word as for some myterious reason Word has switch to US
English from UK English. But what you forgot to mention was that after
making this change, one looses all one's Auto Correct settings from the
previous Normal.dot, and well as many other settings. I have about 150 Auto
Correct options set for Sanskrit diacriticized terms, and now I will have to
spend about two days re-inserting them all. I looked to see if my previous
Normal.dot was around, but can't find it. So it would be good advice to save
one's Nornal.dot BEFORE doing this change.

Hi, me again. Using Norton, I've just found my old deleted Normal dot file
- now called Normal.dot.Old - and although many of my customizations are now
back, the important AutoCorrect customizations as well as all my keyboard
shortcuts are still missing - obviously they are not in Normal.dot. Any idea
where these things are stored?

Thanks,

Robert

AutoCorrect entries (except formatted ones) are not saved in Normal.dot but
in .acl files, one for each language. If you change languages, you are using
a different .acl file. Keyboard shortcuts, however, should be saved in
Normal.dot. But I don't understand how Normal.dot comes into this in the
first place. I don't see anything in
http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/LangFmt.htm that suggests
renaming Normal.dot (or doing anything with Normal.dot other than changing
the default language setting through the Word UI).

Yes, you are correct, there is nothing at
http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/LangFmt.htm that suggests
changing the Normal.dot. But if you follow the instuctions for changing to
UK English only in Windows, Word, and Microsof Office/Office Tools ... where
you have to insert the Office 2002 CD, then it does change one's Normal.dot -
I checked this through the date of its origin, which was today. But anyway,
it was the loss of the AutoCorrect entries I had been using, and all my
keyboard short cuts disappearing that was the big problem. But this has now
been solved - I remembered that the last time I changed HDDs, I found a macro
on the web that was designed to transfer the Word AutoCorrect file from one
HDD to another. Fortunately, this and my old AuotoCorrect.doc were in my own
My Docs file, which I copy everyday, and so I run the macro in Word -reducing
the Macro security to run it - and I'm now a happy man!

Thanks,

Robert
