When I type 'A use case survey exists' into a paragraph formatted as Normal style in Word 2000, it marks 'survey' and 'exists' as incorrectly spelled because it decided they were French, not English (New Zealand).

I have English (New Zealand) set everywhere:

Tools - Language - Set language dialog before I start typing.
In the document's Normal style.
In the document template's Normal style.
In the Normal template's Normal style.

I have 'Detect language automatically' unchecked in the Tools - Language - Set language dialog.

This is really a pain as whole documents are 'incorrectly' spelled (in a mixture of French and Kiwi) if I type them. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
?Kieron

Try re-installing office. I once had a similar problem in which all full stops in excel automatically corrected to commas. This means that $50.00 becomes $50,00 or $5000...hmm That rooted my accounting somewhat, but re-installing office fixed it.
