Selection of Language

At IPA, we need to be able to write in US English or UK English depending on which client we were preparing material for. in XP/Office03 I found this easy with toools-language.

But I can't find how to do the same here - I think I've set every to UK English in control panel and in File-option-language, but it's still telling me I've spelt organisation incorrectly when writing in "UK"

I believe our Office 13/Windows 7 laptops have been set up to default to US English.

Please tell me how I can set up Word/Powerpoint etc to easily switch between the two languages

Thanks so much

RE: Selection of Language

Hi David

Thank you for your question.

With the document you are working on try selecting all (CTRL + A) then from the Review Tab click the Language button and choose proofing options.

From the list select English UK.

click the set as default - this should then apply to new documents you create

Click on OK which should also apply to the text you have just highlighted.

Let me know how you get on with this. I hope it helps.

Kind regards,
Andrew

RE: Selection of Language

Andrew - thanks for your reply

I hadn't found "language" under review previously, and it was certainly set to US English. I guess over time I'll know whether the default is working too, and whether I can use the same "review - language" combo to switch to US English when I'm writing in that.

But that looks very promising as a fix, thank you
