How to set English (UK) as default editing language in Word 2007?

Question

How to set UK language in MS word 2007 for always as default language?

Solution 1

1. Go to Start > All Programs > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office Tools > Microsoft Office 2007 Language Settings.

2. When you have done that, you will see a window as shown below:

Ensure that the enabled editing languages you need are in the Enabled Editing Languages box on the right hand side and that the default the Primary Editing Language is set in the box at the bottom of the window as shown above. This will be the default dictionary.

Edit:

Try this:

1. Right click on a misspelled word in your document
2. Language –> Set Language –> select preferred language (e.g. English (UK)) –> Default… –> YES –> OK.

Solution 2

Click on the language in the status bar.

The language selection dialog appears.

Select "English (United Kingdom)" and then click on the "Default..." button (bottom left on the form).

I think that should do it. If not select "English (United Kingdom)" then "OK" then repeat and select "Default..." the second time.

@Jitendra - It should appear in words on left of the status bar. I don't think I've done anything special to my install.

I don't think it's possible to remove English (U.S.). Just add English (U.K.) and make sure it's selected as Primary.

It's still not working even if i set UK for the document, pasting a new paragraph way set a US language language there.

The status bar appears at the bottom of the Word 2007 window, and the third entry from the left on such status bar allows you to set the Language for the current document. You have to click once inside the document for this entry to appear. Regards.
