Microsoft Outlook Dictionaries
6 Answers
My Outlook dictionary is English (UK), when not inside an email. When I go into an email it shows as English (US) and when I change it in spell check, it checks one word in Eng UK and again reverts to Eng US.
Any ideas how to get both dictionaries to English (UK)?
Thanks

A box will appear and if you scroll to English (UK) and then click the DEFAULT button on the left all your NEW emails will be spell checked in English (UK). Remember though that if you use the REPLY option, your response will be in the same language the sender used.
I don't have a status bar when I open a new email. However, I finally found what I was looking for by using the help function in Outlook (not always helpful, but this time it was). For anyone else who is having the same problem:
To change the default language setting:
You can change your default settings in Microsoft Office to have them match the default settings of a different language.
In Microsoft Windows XP, on the Windows Start menu, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Office, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings.
In Windows 2000, on the Windows Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Office, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings
Click the Enabled Languages tab.
In the Choose the language that defines default behavior in Microsoft Office applications box, select the language you want, and then click OK.
A message appears describing the effects of the change. To continue, click Continue and lose customizations.

Just one further thought. If you have Outlook 2000, you probably have XP as well. In your list of programs you should find Microsoft Interactive Training which is a brilliant tutorial covering almost every aspect of Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook and Publisher. It is both audio and visual and talks you through whatever task you choose at a speed to suit you and you can jump about according to what you want to learn. When you open it up it will ask for a password, just ignore it and press return and the program will open.
