Language/spelling

How can I retain language in a document? I'm editing a manuscript from a
British writer for American audience. Every time I copy a chapter to my
American template, it reverts back to British spelling.

It doesn't revert back, when you copy it brings the formatting across.

You've posted this question in a programming newsgroup, was that
intentional? Are you looking explicitly for a macro solution?

Which version of Word are you using?

Was the manuscript you're working on formatted exclusively with styles? Or
is there a lot of manual (direct) formatting in there?

The "quick and easy", although from a Word-purist point of view inelegant,
fix would be to Ctrl+A, then change the language using Tools/Language/Set
language.
