The best way to do this is system-wide in Control Panel, Region & Language settings. Done here, it will take affect system-wide (after a reboot) and be used by Word, too.

The language setting is stored within each paragraph style in your template. You might want to run a macro like this

Code:

Sub SetLanguage()
  'Created by Chrysalis Design Pty Ltd
  'Changes all the styles in the document to Australian spelling
  Dim aStyle As Style
  For Each aStyle In ActiveDocument.Styles
    If aStyle.Type = wdStyleTypeParagraph Then
      aStyle.LanguageID = wdEnglishAUS
    End If
  Next aStyle
  ActiveDocument.Range.LanguageID = wdEnglishAUS
End Sub

hi Reid

my pcs Regional settings are already set to English (Australian).

all my other Word templates default language is set to English (Aus)
