Converting a document from English UK to English US

[Duncan Falconer]

Is there a quick way to do this rather than going and
doing it by hand. Are there any products that will do it
as a batch

 

[Duncan Falconer]

I should mention that i mean going through and converting
all the british spellings to american spellings

Yeah, that's helpful, cause I didn't have a clue what you were talking
about.

If you tag the text as English UK rather than English US, you can run
spell-check and it should help you fix the spelling.

If you need to use this doc in two contexts, probably do a Save As and
change the language formatting in a copy of the doc.

To change the language formatting, cntl-A to Select All, then go to Tools |
Language and select the new language.

If it is a complex doc with headers/footers, etc--you should probably
redefine the base style in use instead of applying the language as direct
formatting. See here for how:
