Default proofing language wont change

On the review bar I clicked "language" and set the default language to English (US).



I then opened a file clicked "review" Language" and changed the language to English (US)

When I click "Spelling and Grammar" It says "English (UK).

I tried this several times to be sure that I did not fat finger the language selection.

Any hints or suggestions?

I have bee successful at changing other files to English (US).

Note that setting the defaults applies to documents you create later.

For an existing document, sometimes you have to resort to selecting all text (Ctrl+A) and applying language directly to text. Text in headers and footers aren't affected by select all, as you probably know; it must be dealt with separately.

Thank you. That worked.

Another thing that works is to open the file in WordPerfect and replace all [Lang] codes.
