It should trump the style setting but does not modify the style setting, just as you can change the color or font of text in a style.

The following macro should set each style to EnglishUS.

Code:
Sub StyleEnglishUS()
'   Written 14 December 1017
'   Charles Kenyon
'   Intended to set all styles to English US, proofing, not automatitically update
'
    Dim aStyle As Style
    For Each aStyle In ActiveDocument.Styles
            aStyle.AutomaticallyUpdate = False ' probably do not want this for TOC styles - future work
            aStyle.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS
            aStyle.NoProofing = False
    Next 'aStyle
    ActiveDocument.UpdateStylesOnOpen = False
End Sub
This also sets all styles to not automatically update. You probably want your TOC styles to automatically update based on formatting; but, I did not write around them.



Installing Macros

Thanks, Charles! I've been away from the office for a long end-of-year break …
