It won't pick up all american spelling as wrong, just some of it.

46889 2002-05-03 04:09:00 I wonder if it has got anything to do with your system settings?

In Control Panel's Regional Settings have you got English (New Zealand) set in there?

46890 2002-05-03 04:36:00 Yup I always set the system to english NZ. It messes up a few things in windows if you don't Guest (0)
46891 2002-05-03 06:39:00 Hello Gerard,

To fix your problem,do the following,

Open up Control Panel, Keyboard, click on the language tab, then change the default to English NZ with US 101 layout, click on apply then OK, now exit Control Panel.

Fire up Word, click on the Language tab make English NZ the default and click OK.

From now on Word and other MS programmes will remember English NZ as the default language to use.
