Hello, often when I move text from one document to
another in Word 2003, I find that my Autocorrection will
not work, and this is due to Word changing my default
language from English (UK) to English (US) without my
knowing it.  ALL my documents are in Englsh (UK); the
default language is English (UK); and Windows XP is the
same. So how is this possible?  Is there a way of
actually deleting English (US), as I never use it?

Thanks,

Robert

Have you tried your control panel, regional and language settings?
Remove all other languages and countries in every tab you can find and
leave only the one you want (UK English?)

I experienced XP had a will of its own when I changed my keyboard
settings from Dutch layout to US layout and XP kept putting them back
:-o It could only be stopped by completely removing the Dutch Layout.
