Hey all,
I'm currently trying to type some work up on my laptop, and I'm having a problem with the default language...
For some reason, every time I set it to English (UK) as the default language and then go back into my document, it changes automatically back to English (US). As a result, I can't add words to my custom dictionary, and words that are already in there are marked as incorrect.
Does anyone have any idea on how to sort this, cause it's doing my head in... :mad:

You will need to make sure that the windows default isn't US English by checking the settings in control panel --> regional & language options (Lauguages tab, text services & input languages).
