Spelling cheak always reverts to US when set at UK - how does one

[derren]

No matter how often I alter spelling cheak from US to UK - it alwats reverts
back to US spelling. How can this be countered?

Check the Windows Regional settings are set up for UK.
Check the language settings of the normal paragraph style.

Are you importing text from the web? If so use edit > paste special >
unformatted text and the text will take the character (including language)
of the target paragraph style. Also ensure that tools > language > set
language > automatically detect language is unchecked.

Given that you have posted to a vba group the following will give you the
required paste action:

Sub PasteUnfText()
On Error GoTo oops
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _
wdInLine
End
oops:
Beep
End Sub
