Proofing - Setup - English

[kieranh]

I am having a bl**dy difficult time trying to set the English (Canada)
as the proofing tool in Office 2007.

It's probably ME that's doing something wrong but,


I go to "Start - All Programs - Microsoft Office - Microsoft
Office Tools - Microsoft Office 2007 Language Settings"

I then add English (Canada) in the upper right hand box and delete
English (us)
I 'successfully" select English (Canada) as the default editing
language in the lower box.
I then click "OK".

After I bring up Word 2007, open a document I wrote and click on the
'Spell Checker', ......the Dictionary Language box continues to show
English (US)


The only thing I can think of (that I'm doing wrong) is, .......
the letters I'm checking were all written before I changed the
language from English (US) to English (Canada) and what I must now do
is to, ...... completely re-write the entire document with English
(Canada) as the default.

What think ye all (I do not look forward to re-writing all my
documents just to satisfy demands that words like color, odor,
neighbor, harbor, etc., be spelled colour, odour, neighbour and
harbour.

After changing the setting did you close Office and re-open again so your change will take effect. Or are you just continuing with it open
