Hi.

I'm using Word 2010, and when I click the Spelling & Grammar button, it says the dictionary language is set to French (Canada), even though I've set the proofing language as English (Canada) on default.  What can I do to make it proof my documents in Canadian English?

I live in London, Ontario, so I know it can't be my location that keeps changing it.

Any help would appreciated.  Thank you.

Hi,

You should clear the "Detect language automatically" option, in the Language dialog box (Review tab>Language>Set Proofing Language). This will help to prevent Word from changing the language.

Also, when you set the proofing language, do you see the language is preceded by the Spelling & Grammar icon? If no, it means the dictionary for that language is not available and you cannot check the spelling and grammar for that language (the default proofing language that you set will not be reflected there in this case):
