"Going on what you are mentioning, the spell check or "Spelling and Grammar", this was coming up as English (United Kingdom) review These boxes along with any other relevant ones I wish to include. Encarta dictionary English (UK) along with its thesaurus etc were not checked so I have simply checked In here, the options that were checked amongst others includedĮncarta dictionary English (North America) which I have now unchecked along with its thesaurus and some other languages I did not desire. I had to click this, then uncheck all the options that I did not desire and check the options I did desire.
Here is where I have now found the answer to my own question.Īt the bottom of the window on the right hand side in - Open Word 2007 document > Review > "Research", in blue, it says "Research It is here that I want to change to English (United Kingdom) for all my reference books including the dictionary and thesaurus.

What I meant was here: my dictionary, thesaurus and reference books are either Click the little arrow, it will then show a range of reference books such as a dictionary, a Thesaurus. Open Word 2007 document: Review > Research No, I meant the dictionary which shows in Word. Perhaps you could confirm this, but, if so, it means that the text in which the error has been identified is marked as US English - regardless of any defaults." "By this, I presume you mean that when you do a spell check and it highlights error, the dialog title says it is using US English. Should explain all for the help of others in this group forum!Īnd the Microsoft Office Word 2007 dictionary is still showing at UK North American." So simple but I just did not see it and I feel so foolish. I have now found the answer to my question. You did this?

You'll have to forgive me, I do not know how to split up the quotes as you have into separate grey boxes. I would appreciate the answer to this question on how to make the default language in Word, English United KingdomĪnd for it to stick with every new Word document I open. I am sure there is probably a simple explanation for this scenario. Other than that, I am completely baffled as to what to try next. I checked in the control panel as well under "Region and Language Settings" and that shows English United Kingdom but in Word it is still English North American.ĭo I need to do something like disable some add-ins in Word so that the change would then take hold? So obviously there needs to be something done after you set it properly to stop it changing back again to UK I did it once more just to double check and it was definitely left as English UK as theĭefault but when I opened the Word dictionary, it still showed as English North American so I am completely baffled.Ī friend of mine did manage to do it somehow, but it managed to change itself back to English North American again from since he did it. I even tried to change it in Microsoft Word itself but as it was already set as the default for UK English, there was nothing to change really and when I opened up the dictionary and although the default was set to UK English, the dictionary stillĮven when as suggested by somebody that the default should be changed in the Normal.dotm Word template, I tried this also. I came across this Website and tried everything that everybody suggested within each post with no luck at all. Despite all my efforts, it is still stuck on English North American I have spent a good 2 hours Googling this problem on how to change the default language in Microsoft Word 2007 to UK English and I keep hitting a brick wall and not getting anywhere.
