no, thanks for this and it may help with other documents, but these are all
ones I created myself and, I thought, using English UK, but no matter what I
do, and I have followed all instructions I have found so far, the default
keeps going back to English US, so in a sense, maybe you are right and my
document got created in US English, but I can't stop this from happening and
it drives me crazy! Thanks for your advice, much appreciated.

It is important to note:

Language is assigned to text and therefore, text which comes from other
sources whereby the dictionary has not been set as UK may change to US or
another language when opened.

Hope this helps?

to change this, it keeps changing back to US English in front of my very
eyes. It's drivig me mad. please help!
