Default How change "language" permanently to English (Canada) in Word?

I started using WordPerfect before the Mormons unloaded it to that doofus in
Ottawa who thought he could bamboozle Bill Gates et al. As Bugs Bunny would
say, "What a maroon!" I still prefer WordPerfect, but I am getting used to
Word. However, Word seems to insist that every flippin' document, as a
language default, must be English (U.S.) and the problem is that Americans,
wonderful folks though they be, cannot spell to save their lives. I want the
default to be English (Canada) and I do not want to have to change it in
every document I use. I have indicated that I want English (Canada) to be
the default, but Word keeps reverting to English (U.S.). My technical guy at
work has not been able to help. Perhaps someone else can do so. Merci
