I've even save UK as default in NORMAL.DOT but still no luck.

This is the way I always set it for spell checking: first, go to Tools -> Options -> Spelling & Grammar tab. Click the Dictionaries... button. CUSTOM DIC should be selected in the next box. Select English (UK) in the Language box, click OK and OK again.

But even when I change it and it prompts "changes have been made to normal.dot, do you want to save them?" it *still* defaults to US!

It works fine with every other template I've got

To set English (UK) as the default language in Word, go to Format -> Style... click the Modify... button, then the Format button and click Languge... in the list. Select English (UK) and click OK and OK again. Don't click Apply.

This has set English (UK) as the Normal style for this document, but not for Word in general. Click the Organizer button, select Normal in the left box and click the Copy button in the middle. This will copy the document's version of Normal that you've just set to Word's Global Normal. Then you can click Close and exit your document.
