| 124774 | 2003-03-01 09:07:00 | BernieL Assuming you are using XP, click on Start, Settings, Control Panel and Regional and Language Options. Select the Regional Options tab and ensure English (NZ) is showing. However, please note if you open a Word document and it already has English US (for example showing), you have to select everything on the page and change it to English NZ. All new documents will show English NZ assuming you made English NZ the default. Oxie |

| 124775 | 2003-03-01 09:14:00 | You need to open normal.dot and change the language in there. | wotz (335) | ||
| 124776 | 2003-03-01 09:19:00 | Sorry. What's normal.dot and where is it? Thanks | BernieL (1913) | ||
| 124777 | 2003-03-01 09:28:00 | Thanks, Oxie. Yes, I am using XP and I found the local settings but the only default language I could choose from was Australia English and, yes really, it's an improvement and I'll put up with that. Now all I have to do is set up Auto-correct to delete "bloody", "ocker" and "mate" from appearing after every second word in my Word documents! (Just kiddin') Thanks, all. |

| 124778 | 2003-03-01 19:39:00 | normal.dot is the default template word uses when you create a new document. I has default font, margins, language, etc. Do a search to find its location. Open Word, close the document it starts and then open normal.dot from the location. When you have the open screen, change the file type from word document to document template |

| 124779 | 2003-03-01 20:34:00 | My region is set for NZ and once you set your default language in Word it saves this to the normal.dot template - yet still I have the odd occasion where it reverts back to USA spelling... | falvrez (390) | ||
