    sigh - if I had a fiver for every time... I'

    start programs - microsoft office - office tools - language - set to UK
    in word - tools options language - pick one - then SET as default
    in every document you've created ctrl-A to select all and then tools language etc.
    don't forget to change the paper size to A4 - at a guess it's on letter
    and check regional settings in control panel - make sure not on US


    PIMP - additional Microsoft Office Dictioneries cost extra
    OpenOffice ones are FREE and you can get Irish (English/Gaeilge) and Welsh and Zulu 'n stuff.
    All Dictionery Macro new dictioneries will be available when you log on again.

    or go to http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/dictpack.html

    you have to change the DEFAULT settings in word to fix NEW ocuments
    AND you have to change the language in ALL the text in any OLD documents

    might as well delete all copies of normal.dot (blank doc template) then open word again and see what language the text in a new file is in.
