This is a pretty speciic problem I guess but it's annoying the hell out of me. Word 2004, particually when I paste in something from a web-page, or apparently just when it's been sitting around for long enough, keeps changing my default language from English (UK) to English (US). Then when I change it back to UK and hit "default" it changes back to US English within 5 seconds! It's driving me insane!

Anyone have a fix? If there's some way to just delete the US English dictionary that would be fine, as I don't plan on ever using it. All my styles are set up in UK English BTW.

Cheers,
Fozz
Yadda, yadda, yadda...

Word 2004 has that "Paste Options" menu that pops up when you copy & paste something--maybe there's something in the options for that feature that is messing with your defaults?
Plato--what's a "Chickie Run"?
