Thank you again. As far as I can see, you are getting the same result as I did, with both US and Canada at the top of the proofing languages dialogue but with Canada selected, except that yours seems to hold. What's interesting is that, when I copied the macro, installed it, and ran it in the copy I sent you, it behaved as before, effective until; I closed and reopened the document.

Well, I'll start with yours, replace the data I had removed from it, and see how things go.

As always, I appreciate your generous assistance.

Philip
