Thanks for your detailed response.

My status bar does not display Language so I right-clicked the bar to tick the language option, but found it already ticked.

Sometimes, you have to fiddle a bit to make Word display status bar options. Make sure that only one document window is open, right-click the status bar and choose which options you want to see. Restart Word. This ensures that the settings are correctly written to the registry.
