Setting language to UK English

[Ben]

My spell checker in Pub 2003 conforms to the US english
dictionary but I'd like to change it to the UK dictionary

I've changed Excel and Word to UK English and they are
ok. Also the regional settings in control panel are set
to UK english.

Nevertheless Publisher still conforms to the US
dictionary. How can I change it?
Thank you

Ben besides your Regional Settings you need to change the KEYBOARD as well.

Install the UK Keyboard and RE-move the US Keyboard and re-boot your
computer.

One of these days the oversensitive bizarre Americans will learn to spell
properly and admire Janet Jackson's boob.
Nobody in Australia can believe all the hoo-ha over that little episode.
Considering the US is the home of everything crass and pornography and the
most disgusting TV and film shows, so what if Janet Jackson showed her boob
off. They replied it here on the news on every channel between 6:00pm and
8:00pm on the news.

Hello, Ben

I am using WinXP and Office 2003 (eg Publisher 2003) with American Keyboard and having UK English set default with no problem

Ben, if you have Windows XP try the below, if earlier version Windows somewhere equivalent (I cannot remember the details of my old version OS)

A) Right click on the language bar -> Properties -> Add -> Choose your languag
In the top dialogue box, choose your default languag

Alternative way
B) Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft Office -> Microsoft Office Tools -> Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings -> Enabled Language

Then choose “English (U.K.)†-> Add -> English UK should appear in “Enabled Languages†bo

In the bottom dialogue box, choose English (U.K.) as default language
Click OK
This should apply to ALL Office programs

If you are using American keyboard, make sure keyboard settings is “United States – Internationalâ€

Change your printer setup in Control Panel so that A4 is the default size.
