    English UK as default but it questions the UK spelling


    I have installed Word 2010 on my other laptop computer and made the language English UK the default but it questions UK spelling such as labour, neighbour and suggest labor and neighbor .


    How can I correct this?

    :)

    UK English Option presents me with American Spellings

    I've set my language to English (UK) but the system still has US Spellings (Although the Proofing accepts only UK spellings). It's just SO annoying!

    WHAT IS THE POINT OF SETTING MY LANGUAGE TO ENGLISH UK IF THE MICROSOFT APPLICATIONS CONTINUE TO SPELL THE AMERICAN WAY?

    Language settings set UK but spell check uses US

    Win 10 Home. ver 1909 build 18363.476

    I have language settings set to default English UK in the language section of settings - time and language.

    However when I type an email in Gmail it spell checks to US language e.g. colour suggests color.

    Is there another setting somewhere I have missed?
