Removing US Spell Checking, Office XP
Hi,
I have a problem that i just can't seem to fix. I want word to check only in the English (Australian) language. Word however checks in both Aus and US, ie if i type organize or organise it tells me both are correct. I've read a few threads on this but still can't fix it. I've tried the following: -Setting the language in regional and language options to english (aus) AND trying the keyboard setting to UK instead of US. -If i select the spell checking in word is says the language is english(aus), if i go toolslangaugeset language then above the double line both the AUS and US dictionary appears, but i don't know if this means anything or is just a way of selecting a language once typing. If i double click on english (Aus) nothing changes. Is there a way of removing the US language from this list ? -in the lowest task pane it indicates the language is english (aus) This problem is infuriating, i've tried everything, but just can't get rid of the US language checking, can anyone help ? Thanx ! Sean |

Removing US Spell Checking, Office XP
As far as i can tell i've done everything correctly, is it normal when in
word and selecting toolslanguageset language for both english (aus and english (us) to appear above the line ? does this mean the document is being checked against both languages ? if this is the case how do i remove the US dictionary ?

Hi Sean,
First you need to select your document and set the language under Tools/Language/Set language and make sure the language is set correctly. Second, to remove a language go to Start/Programs/Microsoft Office/Microsoft Office Tools/Microsoft Office Language Settings (exact location may vary) and remove the languages you do not wish to use. -- Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for assistance by email can not be acknowledged. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP Word FAQ: http://mvps.org/word TechTrax eZine: http://mousetrax.com/techtrax/ MVP FAQ site: http://mvps.org/ "Sean" wrote in message ...
