Thank you Guessed and Charles Kenyon for all your help. I have kept the last code snippet you sent me and tried it. It ran through word with no syntax errors showing up, but it didn't do anything to change the US English to UK English. I also keep any code snippets I come across that are useful to me. I know very little about using computers, and macros are new to me. I tried to explain where the syntax errors occurred on the original macro Charles sent me, lines 2 and 19, because the print screen button on my lap top didn't take a photo shot of my screen for me to send.
