A fix for a MS Office 2004 spell checker/language issue
Authored by: tmhayes on Feb 08, '05 05:27:28AM

Hi, the problem is very reproducible. Let me try and explain it another way. Supposing you are in Sweden and you want to retain your keyboard layout as Swedish (or Irish), but you want to write ALL your documents in English and have them ALL spell checked using the UK English dictionary. Currently you will not be able to do this automatically using Word 2004. You will be able to set the default language to English UK in Word 2004. This will appear to modify the Normal template. Now quit Word and start it again. Now type in UK English (colour rather than color etc.). The automatic background spell checked will not detect the difference and if you go to tools, spelling and grammer, you will just get a message back saying, spell check complete, but the document won't actually be checked. Try it and let me know how you get on. If you have success I owe you a Guinness! Best, Tom.
