I have Word 2002 and Tools | Language | `Mark selected text as: English (UK)' is highlighted. `Do not check spelling or grammar' and `Detect language automatically' are unticked. In confirming the settings I have clicked the Default button and a dialogue appeared asking for
confirmation that I want to change the default language to English
(UK). I then clicked Yes and OK.
When I open the spell checker its window has the title `Spelling and Grammar: English (U.K.). But the the highlighted spell checking errors
are to change correctly spelt words in English (UK) to their English
(US) spelling. For example: `centre' to `center' with the alternative
of `canter'. Another example is `organiser' to `organizer'.
I have checked the custom.dic file for these words and they do not
appear in that file. I have also checked the Regional and Language
Options in Control Panel and all appears to be in order there set to
English (United Kingdom).
I would appreciate any help to correct this strange behaviour.

Found the answer to this!
Go to 'Review' in the ribbon: 'Language' drop down: 'Set proofing language...' select language preferred from the list, BUT be sure to then click at the bottom left of the menu box 'Set As Default' before closing by clicking 'Ok'
