Dictionary - word 2007

[Guest]

I'm trying to use any other kind of English than US (too many z's make me
sleepy). My regional settings all say English Australian, but word ignores
that. The spell checker keeps ignoring me and switching back... very
annoying. The old stuff posted doesn't work as the tools menu has been
reworked.

Can someone tell me what the secret is to change it?

Noticed this myself this week, I removed English US and even though my
templates have held for years with ¨English Australia¨ they keep changing to
US - I changed to the United Kingdom Keyboard on the Language Bar - English
Australia (Uniited Kingdom Keyboard) - mine is Apple but I also use a
Windows keyboard. So far so good - the status line shows English
(Australia).

Give it a try. The US Keyboard is still there but not selected.
