Default Dictionaries

Okay, so this is driving me mad. I've been all over trying to find a solution but no luck so far.

I'm a freelance writer - I produce work in both Britain and America (I live in the UK). I need to use both the UK & US dictionaries. What I would like to do is to set the language when I am working on an document to either be US or UK. However, it always changes back to UK. This is very annoying as I send off work and I then get reminded that I need to write in American English.

Anyway, I have tried the following so far:



1. Gone to Review>Set Language - made sure the "Detect Language automatically" button is unchecked (have tried it with it checked too - makes no difference!

2. Gone into the regional settings in the control panel and made sure both US and UK English are installed. I tried changing the default input language to US English and still my documents defaulted back to UK.

Any more suggestions? This should be so easy!

Thanks,
Siobhan
