How do I remove English (US) as a default language?
I’ve recently configured a PC with English (UK) ‘Regional and Language
Options’ and I’ve enabled English (UK) in 'Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings’ (I’ve removed English (US)). However, the default language in Word continues to show English (UK) and English (US) as default languages.

How do I remove English (US) as a default language?
You cannot entirely get rid of US English in Word's language options. If, as
you indicate, Windows is set to UK English, that will be the default for Word. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Rigadon wrote: I've recently configured a PC with English (UK) 'Regional and Language Options' and I've enabled English (UK) in 'Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings' (I've removed English (US)).

How do I remove English (US) as a default language?
Thanks very much for your prompt reply.
I gather that English (US) will always be a default language in Word 2003. Why is it that I can remove English (US) as a default language in Word 2004 on a MAC (OS X) but can’t do it in Word 2003 on a PC (XP Home)?

How do I remove English (US) as a default language?
Thanks Stefan.
I’ve followed the advice but English (US) {along with English (UK)} remains a default language. I don’t want to remove/delete English (US), I just don’t want it as a default language.

How do I remove English (US) as a default language?
From Microsoft Office Language Settings, you should be able to remove
any language that isn't the default for *Windows*. Are you saying that English (US) is not the default language of Windows, and that you still cannot remove it? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Rigadon" wrote in message ... Thanks Stefan.

How do I remove English (US) as a default language?
Yes!
Start-Settings-Control Panel-Regional and Language Settings-Languages Tab-Details... 'Default input language' is English (UK) 'Installed services': English (United Kingdom) - Handwriting Recognition.., 'Keyboard' - United Kingdom No other lanuages installed. Start-Programs-Microsoft Office-Microsoft Office Tools-Microsoft Office 2003 Languages Settings-Enabled Languages Tab... 'Enabled languages: English (UK) Word-Tools-Language-Set Language... {Under 'Mark selected text as:' above the partition/double line} English (UK) and English (US) {and I can't remove English (US)} It's driving me nuts ;-) "Stefan Blom" wrote: From Microsoft Office Language Settings, you should be able to remove any language that isn't the default for *Windows*.

How do I remove English (US) as a default language?
As I told you before. It is not possible to remove this! The settings shown
above the line are not 'defaults' but recently used settings and they are buried deep in the registry. I have searched, but the setting appears to be undocumented. Even if you were to remove it, I would guess that the first time you pasted from the internet you would have it nack again as language is a text formatting attribute. I don't know why you are fretting over this. If you make proper use of styles and have the language option set not to automatically detect, it isn't a place you need to go very often. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Rigadon wrote: Yes!

How do I remove English (US) as a default language?
I guessed it was an operating system problem (registry in XP).
I’m not fretting just disappointed at Microsoft. XP really is a poor OS. Lets hope Vista is better. I’ll now advise my students to buy iMacs with Office 2004.

How do I remove English (US) as a default language?
I cannot imagine how you can extrapolate "XP really is a poor OS" from the
fact that U.S. English language settings ride in on documents you receive from outside. If this did *not* happen, there would be a lot of unsatisfied users unable to receive documents in any language other than their own. -- Suzanne S.
