Thank you for posting this message
I have a question that does not seem to be covered by any of the URL's
listed.
I want to set my default dictionary to English (UK)
I have followed the instructions set out in the URL you list - several
times.
For some reason (I cannot understand) it does not work.
The default dictionary sets itself to English UK but immediately I
begin spell checking, on the very next word checked, the default
dictionary reverts to English (US)
Now I have become so frustrated that I just want to delete completely
English (US) so that I can force word to accept English (UK) as the
default dictionary (in fact I want it as the only English Dictionary.
How can I achieve this result?
