Mac Forum / Applications / Word / November 2005Mac Word 2004 and Language Settings
Hi All, Since downloading Mac Office 2004 onto my iBook +OSX I cannot set the default language in Tools. My preferred language is English UK; I click this as well as indicating that this selection should be the default option of Word from now on. Yet, if I open a new page or close it down and reopen Word my language selection is removed and I have to go through the process all over again: my default preference is not being recorded. This is having knock on problem; my spell check - since it has not been told what language to check in - does not function at all. I have downloaded the latest updates from MS but to no avail. Help is dearly needed as this glitch, however small, is extremely frustrating. The default option only applies to new documents based on the Normal template (cmd-N, but *not* generally the stuff available through File | Project Gallery), and does not apply retroactively to documents created earlier. I can't quite tell what the problem might be with your setup, but see here and apply that information to your case (the three parts of #1). http://daiya.mvps.org/spelling.htm It is possible, if everything is set up right, that something is preventing the change from being saved to your Normal template. Since it sounds like you set it correctly, you might first see whether generating a new Normal template fixes the problem. See the "Testing the Normal Template" page from this link: http://word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/TroubleshootingIndex.htm (hit refresh a few times in Safari, or use a different browser) See if a fresh Normal template remembers your settings after quit/restart. > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > I have downloaded the latest updates from MS but to no avail.
