Jim, This doesn't make a lot of sense.
Are you saying you install Legacy and don't choose the language version before opening your data? Changing language for your data file even if just from English US to English Australia is enough to lose your own sentence definitions and revert to the default - and I think something may have been done about that in 8 - I know there was a discussion at some point. But what spelling is being changed in your own data? Is it that you haven't set the same fonts in the new installation? Sounds like characters are mapping to a different one and I think that could happen if you were using a different character set. That's the only thing I can think of that would change the "spellling" of something you've entered.
