It occurred to me that if I might somehow be able to identify and delete the offending dictionary file.How do I completely remove the US English spelling dictionary from Microsoft Word?
I understand your frustration, but here's one more thing to try to make your language the primary one. This should work in Word XP (2002) and the adjacent versions. Word Vista (2007) should have something similar.



1. Click the Tools-%26gt;Language-%26gt;Set Language menu item.

2. In the list box, select the language you want made the default (probably English (UK), right?).

3. Click the Default button to make this the default language for future documents.

4. Click Yes in the message box.

5. Click OK.



That should do it.
Thanks for your answers everyone - I agree this is probably the best answer (though the Bin Laden comment was my favourite ;-)



This was my first submission for Yahoo Answers, so I'll try and formulate my question better next time.
