Hello all,
I am an Aussie living in Perth, WA, and I'm running sys. 8.1 and office 2013. Okay, now for the problem. I have followed advice sourced from the web on how to download the Australian English Dictionary and make it my default dictionary. So far so good but that's where it ends.

When I begin to spell & grammar check my document, the default for the first word check is Australian Dictionary. From then on however, it reverts automatically to US dictionary.

This is a real pain as you can imagine unless you are an American. Is this a deliberate control freak issue from the US or is it that there is a way to remove the US Dictionary once and for all but is not obvious? If anyone knows how to remove the US dictionary, please let me know. If I leave it and try to go around it, I just know that US dictionary will throw another fit and jump back in. I have a lot of paperwork to get through and I don't want to sound like a pseudo American when I publish.

Thanks,
Peter
