When I press enter, everything is back to normal. There must be some settings somewhere which is not right.

Actually, everything was OK untill I tried changing the spelling checker to use English NZ rather than the default US English. I was fidling with the language regional settings and finally got it to use NZ English spelling but at the price of my Autocorrect not working properly.

Is this a bug in Office 2003?

218074 2004-02-25 22:23:00 Yeah some settings may be wrong. Will have to look in this further. AZREAL (1795)

Just wondering about something here: have you looked in the Windows Regional and Language settings to ensure that it matches what you have selected in the spelling checker in Word? Or is that what you are saying that you did in the above quoted paragraph?

218076 2004-02-26 00:25:00 Thanks, Susan.

I was having a hard time (experimenting with quite a few settings like, Language and Regional , etc. ) in getting the Spelling Checker to use English NZ - can't really remember exactly what have I done. I've just uninstalled and re-installed but still the same.

218077 2004-02-28 00:27:00 Try this:

Tools/ Language / Set Languages

Uncheck "Detect language automatically"

It's back to normal again! Don't ask me why.

Cheers
