Word 2003 - dictionary?

W

W E B G U R L

How do I set my region so that words are not seen as being spelt incorrectly -
honour/honor centre/center and so on.

I cannot find where to do this in Word 2003, or should I do it via XP and if so, where?

Thanks

Hello customer,

If you would like to turn on automatic language detection for English UK in
Word 2003, please try the following steps:

Step 1: Make other languages available
===============================

To make the languages that you want to use for editing available in Word,
follow these steps:

Note: Quit all Microsoft Office applications.

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Office, point to
Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office 2003 Language
Settings.

Note If this is the first time that you are using the Microsoft Office 2003
Language Settings Tool, insert your Office 2003 compact disc (CD) into your
CD-ROM drive or into your DVD-ROM drive when you are prompted to do so.

2. Click the Enabled Languages tab.

3. In the Available Languages list, click the English (U.K.) that you want
to add, and then click Add.

Note:
1> If you would like to turn on automatic language detection for English
US, please choose English US.
2> If (limited support) is displayed next to a language in the Available
Languages list, you may have to install additional system support for that
language. The available support depends on your operating system.

The languages that you add are displayed in the Enabled Languages list.

4. Click OK.

5. If you are currently running any Office programs, you receive the
following message:
To use the new language settings, you must quit and restart all open Office
applications.

Shut down and restart open Office applications now?
Click Yes when you receive this message.

The new language settings are enabled the next time that you start Word.

Step 2: Turn on automatic language detection
==================================

When automatic language detection is turned on, Word can automatically
detect each language that you type if your document contains more than one
language. To turn on automatic language detection, follow these steps:

1. On the Tools menu, point to Language, and then click Set Language.
2. Click to select the Detect language automatically check box (if it is
not already selected), and then click OK.

I had already done that at time of installation, yet the dictionary is not recognising
Australia spelling.

Hello,

Have you tried the suggestion in my previous response? For your
convenience, I copied the steps below.

Note: Since you would like to use English (Australia) as your dictionary,
I made some small changes in my initial response according your specific
request.

*****************************************************************
Step 1: Make other languages available
===============================

To make the languages that you want to use for editing available in Word,
follow these steps:

Note: Quit all Microsoft Office applications.

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Office, point to
Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office 2003 Language
Settings.

Note If this is the first time that you are using the Microsoft Office 2003
Language Settings Tool, insert your Office 2003 compact disc (CD) into your
CD-ROM drive or into your DVD-ROM drive when you are prompted to do so.

2. Click the Enabled Languages tab.

3. From the 'Choose the language that defines default behavior in Microsoft
Office applications' drop down list, choose 'English (Australia)'.

4. Click OK.

5. If you are currently running any Office programs, you receive the
following message:
To use the new language settings, you must quit and restart all open Office
applications.

Shut down and restart open Office applications now?
Click Yes when you receive this message.

The new language settings are enabled the next time that you start Word.

Step 2: Turn on automatic language detection

When automatic language detection is turned on, Word can automatically
detect each language that you type if your document contains more than one
language. To turn on automatic language detection, follow these steps:

1. Start Word, On the Tools menu, point to Language, and then click Set
Language.
2. Click to select English (Australia) item in 'the Mark selected text as'
list.
3. Click to select the Detect language automatically check box (if it is
not already selected), and then click Default button.
4. Click OK.

Hmm!

My keyboard settings do not have anywhere to set the language via the control panel.
