This has pissed me off for many years, now i have the answers, yay!
Q: In Word 2000 I can't change the default language from English (US) to English (Aust) or (UK) permanently. I've tried via Tools /Language/set language/English Australian (or UK) /default /yes /ok. I also tried clicking on specific words when typing and going the set language route, but once again it cures it for that letter but not permanently. I have also tried removing Word 2000 and re-installing (several times). P. Scrogg
A: Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel, Regional and Language Settings. There are three tabs, Advanced, Languages and Regional Options. You need to have English Australia selected under all three (including under the "Details" option in the Languages window). If this does not fix the problem then from Start, click Programs, Microsoft Office Tools, select Microsoft Office XP Language Settings and then you will be able to select Australian. Caution: When you change the installation language, as in the last step, your Normal.dot file is replaced and any changes you have made will be lost. This means you will have to re-customise your settings in Normal.dot.
