Any time you open a document in which a different language is used, or when
you paste in text from such a document, you will be using the proofing tools
for that language. When you paste in text, the language at the insertion
point is the language of the pasted selection; if you continue typing at
that point without changing the language, you will be using those proofing
tools.

I do not have, and for a long time have not had, US in my regional
settings.
As explained in http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/LangFmt.htm
"You'll also still have problems with the document reverting back to the
"bad" language while editing. There is no way to get rid of this problem
in
an existing file, short of recreating the file."
So it is not just one unlucky user with this problem.

I have already told you earlier in the thread how to stop Word from
checking
with US spellings.
To Remove the US regional settings
Control panel regional and language options languages details -
select UK and delete US. It will be removed next time you reboot.

Please tell me how to remove the US English settings then. Is it a
registry key change?

Of course you can. My PC is set up for UK English and I have no US
English set up in the regional settings.

Graham,
For other languages you are right, but for English English for
England this is not correct. You can not remove the US English for
America setting. Antony
PS I would dearly love this bug to be fixed.

The default language for Word is that set in Windows regional
settings. Word will only spell check using the language defined for
the text - see tools language set language (set to UK English
or whatever) and uncheck the box 'Detect language automatically'.

I wish to remove the us english settings from my MS word, so that
if I type say 'color' by mistake that it will not accept it as a
correct word. It should give me 'colour' as the correct spelling.
