Word 2002 using windows X P Proff

1. The spell checker keep changing to US English and also ticks the box don’t
spell check or check grammer. The auto detect box is ticked but I've tried
this both ways. I keep resetting to UK English and it stays for a while and
then changes to the US English again.

2. Again on Word crop marks have appear at top and bottom right and left. I
just can't find a way to get rid of them.

3. When clicking on the send e-mail option on Word or Excel I get the
message: Could not start e-mail program. Check your network connection. Make
sure Office is installed correctly, your e-mail program is set up correctly
and you can connect to you e-mail sever.

I use outlook 2003 for e-mail and I've tried reinstalling XP professional to
cure the above problems but to no avail.

Any ideas please.

I think you'd get a better answer in a Word group rather than one for the
support of Windows Update function - try microsoft.public.word.newusers...
