Microsoft Office – Respect my choice of Dictionary !!!

Why does Word or Outlook always want to change my dictionary from English (Australian) to English (US)?

I have tried everything to stop it changing it. I disabled language services and force XP to use only English (Australian). I updated the default.dot. I tried every hack Google offered me. That gives me the raging poops.

Oh yeah - how this annoys me. We may only be a little antipodean backwater in Orstaylee-ah but we would like a bit more respect.

Hi,

If you are having trouble with the Australian dictionary sticking, try the information on www.dictionary.JustLocal.com.au.

The Microsoft Word section explains how to set up your computer.

Good luck.

Regards,

Tried the info from your site. Works like a charm. Where do I send the beer ?
