I try and change my default language setting from English US to English
Australia in normal.dot (and other templates and documents) and it always
returns to US next time I use the document/template or grammer check etc. How
do I make change "stick". I have tried doing this through Grammer, Languages,
Settings etc

Modify your normal style: set the language, and check the 'Add to template'
checkbox.

sorry, but this did not work either

Do you have Acrobat installed? -- version 7 inhibits changes to normal.dot
(which is where the setting is saved).

Yes I have Acrobat 7 installed

Check the Adobe website for how to deal with this problem.

Well I've done everything suggested on this site, as well as uninstalling
Acrobat / Adobe reader as mentioned above, and *still* every time I open MS
Word the default language is US. This is honestly driving me mad!!!

Did you also read the section on existing documents? It might be
necessary to recreate them in order to fix the language formatting.
