Changing default language in Word.

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:

    The problem may be the default language in windows, setting it to UK in word may be overridden by windows default language.
    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).

    This link may help you:

    Once you've set it to default English (UK) delete the English (US) entry and reboot.
