how do I change spellcheck default language to English U.K.

[Guest]

I have tried to change the default language in spellcheck from English U.S.
to English U.K. but without much success.
The 'help' menu does not even incorporate a section on such a change. The
U.S. default mucks up my writing and grammar and if I could change it life
could be made easier.
I'm using Microsoft Word in XP Standard for Students

You should be able to go to Tools-->Language-->Set language. Choose the
desired language and make sure "do not proof" is NOT checked, and then hit
the DEFAULT button.

Hi Emmm

You need to set the language correctly in Windows, in Office and in Word.
