Hi all
This is a question I am astonished I am asking

I want to use UK English in Word exclusively

In Word Options I have set the sole editing language as English UK. I have
removed US English but it always returns
In Office Tools language I have done the same
In Custom dictionaries I have selected English UK
I have set UK Englsh as the default format in Language and Regional settings
on the Control panerl

In spite of all this when selecting  the Customize Staus form using the
proofing icon at the bottom of the page the language used is US English.
Everytime it wants to spell colour as color
How can I reliably work in UK English please

I don;'t call this easy to use

G'Day Roger,

Have you tried:
   Open a blank document
   Edit>Select All
   Tools>Language>Set Language
       a. Click UK English
       b. Click the button "Default..."
               Click "Yes" in the resulting dialog
       c. Click "OK"

Sorry Pat
I should have said I was using office 2007. I have found it there at last.
There is an option to set the language in the para style and that seems to
do the trick. I happen to be using a book on new 2007 Office facilities. (I
have not needed to look at anything like this for the last 4 versions of
office but in this version everything has moved or changed. Otherwise I
don;t think I would have found it
In my experience with Vista and Office 2007 as well as introducing a lot of
vital advances they have gone on to revise everything else so that both are
a large and very irritating learning challenge. I believe it will put many
off and drive them to open systems.
