Online Word Doc Problem

It sounds like the issue might be tied to how your organization’s IT has configured language settings at the account or document level, especially if it's a managed device. Even if your browser and Microsoft account show English, sometimes the default display language of Office Online can be overridden by your organization’s admin settings.

Here are a few things you can try:

1. Open the Word doc in OneDrive > Word Online, go to File > Options > Language, and check the editing/viewing language there.

2. Try logging in from a different browser or personal device — if the issue disappears, it’s likely something on the managed laptop level.

3. Ask your IT team to check for any enforced regional or display settings through Microsoft 365 admin.

Hope this helps narrow

it down for you!
