UK-English remains the default until I shut down OOo but it reverts to US-English when I reload. I have also tried shutting down the PC completely to be sure! -- Mike Flux
Have you tried to remove the following file? C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org2\share\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Linguistic.xcu? It might help you, at least it won't hurt. There is another one at: C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office It seems like OpenOffice.org copies the first one to the second path when it starts, which is the same thing as erasing your settings. However I am not sure THOSE settings are in that file. It's harmless to try it anyway. If you want to be 100% sure you are not causing any damage, don't delete it, just rename it to something like Linguistic.xcu.old or something like that. Still talking about the file at C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org2\share\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\, if you think this was a bit confusing. Hope this helps. Johnny Andersson
