simplyn2deephow to I get my Word spell checker to stay in US English?
This fic I'm beta reading was written with a version of Word from Ireland, so the spell checker/dictionary that's coming up is using English from Ireland. My Hawaiian words, contractions and slang words are coming up as wrong. It's also saying the grammar is wrong as well.
Anyone know how to fix this?
eta: got it sorted. yay

REC
TRK
EXT
OVR
Those should all be grayed out. Next to it may say something like English (UK). Double-click on that sucka and pick English (US). Maybe also uncheck the "automatically detect language" thing--hope that helps!
