Re: Office 2007 - Spell Check Dictionary Other Than English United

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I am using Office 2007 pro on XP pro. My regional settings were already set
to English UK only. I automatically remove any reference to English US when
ever I setup a desktop. However, the dictionary is unable to get all the
words correct. Color/Colour is ok. But where there is a US Zz vs UK S
usage, they both come up as correct.

I have a similar problem;

I use Word 2003 but Oulook 2007 (with OneNote 2007)

In Language Bar Settings :

English (United Kingdom)
Keyboard - United States _ International

(In Malaysia we use UK English but we use internationl keyboard for the "$"
instead of the "£" sign.

In MS 2003 Language Settings - only English (UK)

In MS 2007 Language Settings - English (UK) and English (US). Cannot delete
English US. When removed it reappears when this program is reopened.

In OL English US always defualts no matter repeating the setting and
rebooting.

If the keyboard setting controls the language setting then MS should correct
this problem.

Please comment.

Yeah, it is kind of weird to think that your keyboard controls your spellcheck. Glad it worked for you!
