Hi. I'm using Word 2010. In Word Options, Choose Editing Language, the editing language options are English (Ireland) <default> and English (U.S.) The Display Language and Help Language are both set to the default (Match Microsoft Windows <default>). The
spell check on most of my Word files works as desired, ie flags US English as an error, but in some Word files, UK English (ie same thing as English (Ireland)) is flagged as an error in favour of US English. How do I ensure that the spell check on all Word
files is English (Ireland) <default>? Thanks a lot in advance, Dollo
In the Language dialog box (Review tab | Language | Set Proofing Language), have you turned off the option to "Detect language automatically"? Note that once the incorrect language has been applied to a document, you may have no other option than to select
all content (Ctrl+A) and apply the language you want. See also
