Stop using US English words. See

Why does Word keep reverting to US spelling after you have selected UK or
Australian?
Why does MS think it is OK in Canada to have a doc with a mixture of the two
spelling conventions (e.g. color/colour, travelling/traveling). Surely it
should enforce one or the other.

ok,
i think you are saying "if you open a word document that has been using US
English, your global settings will be overwritten?", for sure I dont want or
accept US Englsih in documents I compose, and I am more than happy to correct
documents I receive and resend, but MS Office switches on its own accord in
the event I have been sent and consequently open a US English document?

If I have understood your explanation correctly, the question still remains;

"how do I ensure my MS Ofiice always uses my preference which I clearly and
emphatically set up when installing MS Office?"
