Default Spell Check in Different Versions of English

Hi =?Utf-8?B?TWluZEJ5dGVz?=,

Start with the article on language formatting in the Tips section of my website,
so that you undersand how Word handles languages.

Basically, you want to make sure that
1. The document was created on a "synchronized" machine

2. All the styles base on one, particular style, and all have the same
language format

3. The document is formatted completely using these styles

So you should be able to change the language of that base style, and all the
other styles will change to match.

I have some copywriters that need to be able to perform spell checks in

Canadian English as well as US English. The problem is that depending on where
the document is headed, they will need to check in ONE language only (ie.
anything going to the US needs to be checked by US dictionary/anything going to
Canada needs to be checked by a Canadian dictionary).

Has anyone got any way to do this? The users are using Office 2003.
