I have outlook 2003 SP1 installed and running windows XP SP2. I use Word as
my editor in Outlook and creating new e-mails.

When i create a new e-mail the dictonary is set to English(Australia) which
is fine. But the problem is that when i reply or forward an e-mail the
dictonary changes back to English(U.S),

i have set the language to English(Australian) as the default. When i open
word the Language is set to English(Australia).

All My regional Settings are set to Australian

**I have XP Pro on a company machine, so it is networked and to some extent
**everything is chosen/set up for me.

**I have checked all my language settings in all places recommended in other
**posts (I've done a pretty thorough search), and in all places it is
**displaying as English (Australian). The dictionary in Word is using
**Australian English and spell checks to that. However, my toolbars/menus
are
**showing US spelling (favorites instead of favourites). Whilst it doesn't
do
**any actual harm to the computer and I still understand it, it is a little
**disconcerting. Has anyone seen this problem/inconsistency before and do
you
**know where the glitch might lie?

The answer was:

Thanks for that but i have another machine with the same setup and when he
replys to e-mail the spell checker is set to English(Australia)

There is no problem. It's supposed to. All english versions are the same.
And don't whinge (sure you aren't a >pom), it's far worse for programmers
Applications like Word and Outlook are very specifically written for many
languages. That's why you can choose a raft of them when you spell check,
but you need to buy the right version for your country.
Windows also comes in various languages, but the version for English
speaking folks including Poms, Aussies and Kiwis is English (US). <----
See
the period? This means you will get "favorites", and "color" in the help
files and so on and nothing will change that, nothing, unless Microsoft
decide to change the spelling around one day for non US English variants.
That day will come when Windows is available for free.... :)
