This problem is driving me crazy. I'm portuguese and my OS is in portuguese,
however the office the company has is in English. As so, it doesn't have the
Portuguese diccionaries. My problem is with Visio, for some reason the speel
check is set to Portuguese (portugal), and whenever I type some text for the
first time it prompts me a box "Visio was unable to find the spelling for:
Portuguese (Portugal)".

I'm preparing a presentation for an international conference, and I'm
writing things in English, I would like to have the spell check set to
English UK but I can't find that option in Visio!!!!

I've changed the Office 2003 Language Settings to English (UK) by default,
Word, and Powerpoint are now set to English, however Visio hasn't picked up
this
setting (even after computer restart) and continues to perform the spell
check in Portuguese... Since the diccionary doesn't exist, no errors are
found and I can't change the language anywhere...

Can anyone help?

Thanks

OS: Microsoft Windows XP Pro SP2 (HP computer)
Office: 2003 + Visio Professional 2003 (english)

Did you try to uncheck "Tools=>Options=>Spelling=>Check spelling as you
type".
Enjoy with visio

Yes, I've tried it, when I go to check Spelling I get the same message that
it can't find the dictionary. I changed the language in Proofing Tools to
Spanish, I removed the Portuguese (Portugal) from the possible language list
and still it continues with this behaviour...
Any more hints?

Thanks

João
