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.

Thanks for this, but it still doesn't work, however it's given me a clue and I think I've finally discovered *WHY* I'm having this problem!
I've got the default keyboard set up as "English (United States)" because that's the key layout that I learned to touch type on.
It seems that this doesn't *just* set the keyboard layout, but when you go into Word, it tells Word to use United States English as the default language *over-riding* any other settings I may want to use!!!
So either I'm going to have to get used to a new keyboard layout or keep manually changing language every time I start a new document in Word!
Bloody Micro$oft and their bloody "this will be useful, let's make it happen and not give someone the option to turn the bloody feature off!!!"
