MS Word 07 - Language setting Problem?

Every time i open a new word document, it's set to "English (US)" instead of "English (UK)", even though I always set UK as the default.

Normally it wouldn't really bother me, but since I'm going to an english school, where teachers get pissy if i write "maneuvered" instead of "manoeuvered"!

Is there any way i can PERMENANTLY change the default, because the default button doesn;t seem to work :S

    I don't know where you are setting the language option in Office 2007 but it should be

    Click on the Office ICON at the top. Choose the Word Option Tab (bottom of the box)

    Click on the Popular tab and Click on the Language setting button

    Change the primary editing language to English U.K. and hit OK then OK again and it should change to the English U.K. dictionary for editing.
