Heading,1 style – for Australian spelling (Word 2003)

Topic

New Reply

Hi

I installed Office 2003 before realising my computer did not have the
regional settings set to Australia.

I have set my normal style to English (Australian) and now whenever I try to
change the style from normal it creates Heading,1 etc

Even when I use English (US) it does the same thing.

My only enabled language in the Microsoft Office 2004 Language settings is
English (Australian).

I tried changing the keyboard language settings via the language bar, but
now my language bar does not show up at all.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Melissa:
I’m not familiar with the Language Bar, but check post 211146 & post 270936 regarding setting language defaults. However, what you describe doesn’t sound like a language problem. When you say that when you try to change the style from normal, it changes to Heading 1 etc., I don’t know what you mean. I suspect that you have some options checked under Tools/AutoCorrect…/Autoformat as you type (I don’t have Word 2003, so the menu placement may have changed). Make sure that you UNcheck all the options except the specific ones that you know & want.

If that doesn’t help, could you specify exactly what you’re doing & what happens?

Hi Phil

I fixed the language problem and this problem seems to have disappeared. I was trying to do a screenshot and have discovered all is well. I’m not sure if it was an autoformat thing or not. Word was creating Heading,1 not using Heading 1 when I clicked on it.

I seemed to remember reading about it somewhere so I thought someone here might have had the same problem, never mind, all is well now!
