Mac Office Word continually default U.S. English is

Hello

I use Mac Office 2016 and I set my default language for British English. So, as expected, when I create a new document, it says English (United Kingdom) at the bottom. However, when I copy text from another source such as the net or Libra Office, language changes to English (United States). Is there anyway I can force a document to be English (United States) or even better, remove the English (United States) from my Mac?

I don't see the logic of it switching more languages, if I copy a document Canadian or Australian or text, why didn't it changes to this language setting. Or better yet, if I have a document from English (United Kingdom) and I copy/paste the text and happening in the USA, why didn't he go to UK when I copy and paste again to a UK format?

I checked my system preferences and I only have the English (UK) language, or is there a way I can update the American dictionary so that I can update the 'z' words to of ' analyze the words to alleviate the main problem I have with words, such as the Organization to organization, analyze etc...

Apologies if in the wrong section because I could not find a section for Mac software.

Thank you

MAZ

  • Whenever I get close Microsoft Word, it displays a window saying that Microsoft Office Word has stopped working?

    All the documents that I close (if it is registered or not, whether it is empty or not) shows an error message saying:

    Window with the loading bar appears: header 1 - "ofMicrosoft Office Word has stopped working ", heading 2 - "Windows is checking for a solution to the problem... " "

    Changes in wording (remains of load bar): header 1 - "Microsoft Office Word to try to recover your information... ", header 2-"it can take several minutes. "

    It takes then about 10 to 20 seconds until the charge bar disappears and the text becomes: header 1 - "Microsoft Office Word has stopped working ", header 2-"a problem caused the program to stop working correctly." ""  Windows will notify you if a solution is available. "

    This process happens every time.  Sometimes it restarts the program, and other times it ends just (closed) it.  I don't know if this is related to this bug, but I met another problem that began at the same time as this one:

    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistaperformance/thread/f5e2a747-b429-4d55-8a6b-5d5a9b791dd1 (scroll to the bottom of the page of my post) .  That error is fixed now, but the "Microsoft Office Word has stopped working bug" continues to annoy me.

    Could this error be caused by my computer or Microsoft Word?  Does anyone have any information or conclusions of how this error can be fixed?  Is there some registry tweaks which can solve this problem?

    Specifications of the computer:

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium Service Pack 2 (32-bit)

  • Where can I find a "product key" for Microsoft Office Word 2007.

    When I try to open Microsoft Office Word 2007, which is installed on my computer, I get this pop up asking for my product key. I have no knowledge of a product key and I don't know where it can be located. Anyone has an idea about this 'product key '.

    Thank you

    Hello, the product key is normally printed in the retail packaging or is sent in the confirmation email in case you made a digital purchase. However there is a support forum for the mozilla firefox browser. If you continue to have problems to get the desktop software to work, please contact support Microsoft instead since it is their product.

    If your programs Microsoft Office came pe-installed when you purchased the computer, it is a "trial" version
    Trial version is good for 60 days or x number of use, after that it use more.

    If this is the case, you will need to purchase a full version if you want to continue using Microsoft Office programs.

  • I connect my Canon camera, wiaacngr.exe opens a window asking me to select the program to start. But it offers only two options: M/S Office Word and scanner and camera wizard.

    original title:wiaacmgr.exe

    I found a lot on the Internet about wiaacngr.exe not opening not or refuses to recognize the camera.  My problem is almost the opposite!   Whenever I connect my Canon camera, by USB, my current laptop (Windows XP Pro SP3 of v5), wiaacngr.exe opens a window asking me to select the program to start.  But it offers only two options: M/S Office Word and scanner and camera assistant, neither of which I want to use.  If I close the window...  Not much, but it's a nuisance.  I would be happy if she has proposed to launch work stations.  I then click on the box "Make this every time" and will never see the window.  Otherwise, I'd be happy to remove the program completely.  Can someone tell me how to achieve one of these?  S ' Please!

    They gave me a laptop Sony Vaio FRO my birthday about a month ago. I work from home, I work online and I use everyday in my computer. The two programs I use the most are gives me a hard time and not let me use a reason any. The software came on the laptop so I called Sony and they told me that it should work fine, and if I have problems to contact microsoft. Well, my point is its does not work and it is causing me loose not being able to work money. Im very frustrated and im desperately need help. Please if anyone can tell me what to do to fix this problem I would be very happy. IM at my wits end here. Acrobat 8 reader telling me I need a serial number to continue using the program and will close and I lose all my work. Also, Microsoft Office Word 2007 again I need a product key number. I use these programs daily to work, I can't cope with this. They keep making me lose all hours of work ive done. Help, please!

    Adobe Acrobat Reader is free, it shouldn't charge for continuous use.  Packages of creator Adobe (Adobe Acrobat Standard, Pro, Pro Extended) cost money.  Microsoft Office is often loaded on a computer as a trial package.  You need to follow up with Sony on these items to make sure if they sent packets of the trial or fully paid packages, and if they are supposed to be freed from the packages that your only relief must come from Sony - we cannot help you here.

  • How to merge file painting office word

    Hello

    I have more paint files I want to insert these files to office word until I get file size reduced.

    Alaied

    Just open the file in Paint and copy it.  If you want a reduced file size, then first save it as a .jpg file (which is smaller than many other types of file).  Then open the file in Word, navigate to the location where you want the image and right click and then click on paste.  The image should appear in Word to the selected location.  You can then select the image and use your mouse on the edges and corners to adjust the size of the image or move it to a different location if you want.

    For more information on using Microsoft Word (or working with images in Word), go to the Group Discussion Board at: http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.word.docmanagement&lang=en&cr=US where the word experts will be more than happy to help you with any questions you may have.  If you want to import the files instead of copying the images in Word, the question in this forum.

    I hope this helps.

  • Speech recognition in Windows 7: what MS Office Word, not wordpad or Notepad?

    When I trained with speech recognition, it seems pretty well put together.

    The controls are a bit different from Dragon NaturallySpeaking, but much more user friendly.

    The problem is that it works well with notepad and wordpad, but don't integrate well with MS Office Word. In Word, you must dictate in a staging area, and then insert the unformated words in Word.
    What a shame, it's a good program otherwise.

    All information, whether it is it? Is the inclussion of the Word as a usable on the horizen program? With Office 2010?
