| 534519 | 2007-03-20 08:22:00 | Hi All. In MS Word I select a new document. I set the Language as 'English NZ' with 'English UK' as second option. In the computer settings, English NZ is set as preferred option. Why, then, when I go into the spell checker does it say English US, even tho I keep changing it to English NZ ??? Thanks. PJ |

| 534521 | 2007-03-20 08:46:00 | OK. Any idea of the thread title? PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 534522 | 2007-03-20 08:48:00 | It's something to do with dictionaries. The custom.dic is I believe English US. To use an English NZ dictonary, you have to actually change the setting to English NZ.dic but I'm afraid I am not sure how this is done. No doubt someone will have an answer. |

| 534524 | 2007-03-20 08:59:00 | Look in MS Word at Tools/Options/Spelling & Grammar/Custom.dic but I'm not sure thatit will help. | Bryan (147) | ||
| 534525 | 2007-03-21 04:42:00 | OKAll . . . Just about got it all Sussed . There were places I was not aware of that had to be "Ticked" . One thing that still bothers me tho, that Bryan mentioned . The default dictionary is, indeed, American . So should I replace it with a UK English version? Collins or Oxford? If so, How so?? I am writing in UK English (actually in Yorkshire English . The best County in the UK) . PJ |

| 534526 | 2007-03-21 04:54:00 | Hi PJ. Have you been to Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options. Double click on it and select the Languages Option and then Details. Despite being a Lancashire Lad I have mine showing English (New Zealand) - US. The last bit indicates the type of keyboard. In Word, if you keep an eye on the bottom Task Bar, the eleventh or twelfth item from the left indicates a language. Occasionally when downloading from the States this may change. Just double click on it and select your default choice again. | Scouse (83) | ||
