"I have a quick (minor) query as raised by a user recently, regarding reporting between Access & Word.
Can anyone advise me how to set an Access report to output to MS Word automatically defaulted to 'English (U.K)', please?

I have tried the following:
1. In Word, have selected: Tools | Language... |Set Language.

2. Have also checked: Start | Programs | Microsoft Office Language Settings...(this is already set to 'English UK).

3. Finally have checked the regional & language options on my pc.

However when I output the report to MS Word, & check the Tools option as in point 1., above I still obtain the setting 'Mark selected text as: English (U.S.), for example say.

Any ideas, anyone on automating this within VBA, etc (that's if this can be done!)? As mentioned before this is a minor query, but would save my customer the trouble of having to manually reset the default each time.
(Am using Access 97, Word 2K & Windows XP).

Many, many thanks in advance.
