I created a Word document using a template that uses English (Australia) language. I then saved a copy of the document, changed the format to Letter and want to apply English (USA) spelling. I go to the menu bar and select Tools>Set Language>English USA and but it still continues to spell check using the Australian spelling. I have tried applying the new language setting with the entire document highlighted. Also does not work! Any ideas anyone please!
