Getting rid of UK English--MS Word 2003 Speller

Are you able to do this in other documents or is it just this one document?
Does it allow you if you don't change the language first?

thanks, I tried that open and repair, and it too did not help.

When I try to insert a footnote into the Control-A file that I worked over
like Suzanne suggested, I still get a MS Visual Basic error message
(runtime
error 424, object.....) or it just crashes ---- and thus it will not let
me
insert a note.

The original file before her solution to the language problem, however,
does
let me insert notes anywhere.....

Hi, I am not sure what you mean by open and repair a file?

Interestingly, the original files (before I did the Control A procedure
that
solved the speller and autocorrect problems) will let me put endnotes
and
footnotes into them, no problem with that. It is only new control A
corrected
file that crashes when I try to put even one note in? JF

She already said she can edit footnotes if she doesn't change the language.
I just find this totally bizarre.

Actually, I have now checked the other 13 chapters that were copyedited in
Britain, and they crash when I try to insert an endnote before and after I do
Suzanne's suggestion of Control A and set language. The select and set
language suggestion works for these, but then they too crash when I try to
insert notes. I think she is right, these note insertion crashes are a
different issue. Any idea on how to correct them? Could it be a template
issue? thanks, JF

This suggests that some code is running in the document (although googling
that error message turns up a plethora of confusing information). I'm going
to cross-post this to microsoft.public.word.application.errors, where it may
attract the attention of readers who might be more knowledgeable about such
errors.

For a start, though, try starting Word in Office Safe Mode (press Ctrl while
it is loading) and see if you experience the problem there. If not, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm for general
troubleshooting steps regarding Normal.dot, the Registry, add-ins, and so
on. On the face of it, I would suspect an add-in.

Starting in safe mode, these copyedited files allow new endnotes to be
inserted. But the normal template does not seem to be corrupted as hundreds
of other new and old files permit me to add endnotes to them?

When that error messages comes up, it give option of debugging, and when you

Okay, this means that there is an InsertFootnote macro running in place of
Word's built-in command because you wouldn't see anything in the VBE
otherwise. Someone seems to have created an entirely unnecessary Footnote
Wizard. Go to Tools | Macro | Macros, find the InsertFootnote or macro, make
sure it's in the document itself (set "Macros in" to the active document,
not "All active templates and documents" or "Word commands"), and delete it.

As a matter of curiosity, do you have this same problem if you use
Ctrl+Alt+F (which should invoke the InsertFootnoteNow command)? If so, that
shortcut may have been assigned to the InsertFootnote macro.

English
(US), but when I work on these files and spell check
them,
the

How do I permanently, forever, get rid of English (UK)
in
MS
Word
and
Windows XP? I have no use for it.... Thanks.

When I try to insert an endnote into these files, I get that numbered error
message and then when I go into debug in Visual Basic at bottom of error
message, I get this further comment stuff. Is this helpful?:

InsertFootnote()
'First, make sure IP is in a valid location to insert footnote
If Selection.ShapeRange.Count 0 Then
MsgBox "Insertion Point (IP) can not be in a frame or textbox" &
vbCrLf _
& "when inserting a footnote." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf _
& "Please place the IP in the text of the document where you " &
vbCrLf _
& "want to insert the note reference mark and try again.",
vbInformation, "Footnote Wizard"

And could this be some sort of conflict with the styles and formatting stuff
, of which there is a lot in these files. They were the basis for a printed
book, and I am revising that book, and these files, now. JF

For a start, though, try starting Word in Office Safe Mode (press Ctrl while
it is loading) and see if you experience the problem there. If not, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm for general
troubleshooting steps regarding Normal.dot, the Registry, add-ins, and so
on. On the face of it, I would suspect an add-in.

Are you able to do this in other documents or is it just this one

thanks, I tried that open and repair, and it too did not help.

When I try to insert a footnote into the Control-A file that I worked
over
like Suzanne suggested, I still get a MS Visual Basic error message
(runtime
error 424, object.....) or it just crashes ---- and thus it will not
let
me
insert a note.

The original file before her solution to the language problem,
however,
does
let me insert notes anywhere.....

Hi, I am not sure what you mean by open and repair a file?

Interestingly, the original files (before I did the Control A
procedure
that
solved the speller and autocorrect problems) will let me put
endnotes
and
footnotes into them, no problem with that. It is only new control A
corrected
file that crashes when I try to put even one note in? JF
