Hi,

I have a system in our office with Office XP on it.
The thing is the user wants to have Swedish as Keyboard language (Regional settings). But when he does that he cannot get the spell checker in Microsoft Word to find any misspellings( English documents). If he changes the Keyboard language to English (UK) the spell checker works fine. Could you tell me if it is possible to have the Keyboard language as Swedish and still get his spell checker to work .

Thanks

Set the desired language in Word from Tools->Language->Set Language. Here you also can set "Detect language automatically".
The regional settings should not affect the spelling in Word.
