Default trying to spell check in german, but dictionary stays english us

I have installed the office proofing tools, only have english (australia) and
german (german) install, when i go to do a spell check it uses the english
(US) dictionary, not the german. If you change it to german, it will only
check the next work using the german dictionary and then revert back to
english (US). how do i keep it using the german dictionary.

Select all (CTRL+A) tools language set language - set to German. Uncheck
the automatically detect button.
If your PC's regional settings are set to US English, this will be the
default language for Word. To spell check other languages, you need to
format the text with the appropriate language parameter. You could, for
example, create German versions of your main styles.
