How do I configure Word's spell checker NOT to use American English?

I'm using Office 2000.

Select the language of choice and click the <default> button to make it the new default language for the normal template.

I tried the steps you suggested and set it to English UK but Word still sticks to US spellings.

I've asked a few of my friends who are using Office 2k and was told that they are all having the same problem!

51463 2002-05-30 09:10:00 first, you must go to Control Panel (Start,settings, control Panel). Select Keyboard and click on the language tab. Change the keyboard's language to English NZ and set as the default. Now set the language in Word (tools, Language, Set Language) to NZ English, set as the default, and it should stay there.
