Hi Erik,
Thanks for your reply, yes, I did mean Tools | Set Language.
And you are correct setting the options does survive closing and opening,
normally. I think what happens, at least from time to time, particularly
when copying and pasting inherited preferences are included with the text.
If possible I always try and remember to select "Keep Text Only" from the
little icon that accompanies a paste.
The dictionary problem is a Microsoft-wide 'problem'.
I have just been into eBay China, copied some text in Chinese, opened
OneNote and it pasted boxes and not text, did a spell check;
wallop-there-it-is; checking in English (US), not even Chinese. So, I did the
same in Word, the Chinese characters appeared, did a spell check, there we
are again checking in English (US).
I have pasted this text into OneNote to check my spelling before posting and
it is checking in English (UK).
I have various ‘workarounds’ but was hoping there was a simple ‘turn off all
other dictionaries’ facility that I was not aware of.
Kind regards
Mike
