Yes, thanks for these replies. I have an older version of WORD and just the other day was being driven crazy by the fact that it seemed to have switched to UK English and I couldn't get it to stick on US while I was editing a story from a US author.
Course, I was doing just that - fixing it on the spell check, so it was obviously reverting back as soon as I came out. Now I know to select all text first, it should be fine.
Thanks!
