Basically what is happening is because of Words templates.
Here is how it works and here is the source of my information source of my information.
Here is how it works and here is the source of my information source of my information.
1. Choose Language from the Tools menu, then choose Set Language from the submenu. Word displays the Language dialog box.
2. In the list of languages, select the one you want to use by default.
3. Click on the Default button. You are asked to confirm you action.
4. Close the Language dialog box.
The only thing that the Default button does is to change the language settings in whatever template you have attached to your current document. Thus, any new documents based on that template will default to the language you select. Any documents based on a different template will not, unless you change them, as well. In addition, any existing documents will not have their language changed. In order to affect an existing document, you need to do the following:
1. Select the entire document (press Ctrl+A).
2. Choose Language from the Tools menu, then choose Set Language from the submenu. Word displays the Language dialog box.
3. In the list of languages, select the one you want to use by default.
4. Click on the OK button.
