How can I make the change so that every time I open a new document I dont have to change the type setting to English UK?

Editors have to do many correcting, editing and other tasks in today's multi-tasking environment. We need to have a simple switch, probably in preferences, to determine the language preference for the whole document. I hate working on a 100,000 word book and constantly having it revert to US English when I've specified UK English (even though I really want Australian English which isn't even offered.

Clear any Find Format settings, and set the desired language in Change Format. That way you know for sure every character in your document has been changed to the target language even if someone has used an unusual formatting such as strike-through. This will change all the existing text but, of course, to be elegant you should really change any style sheets too!

Spanish and French) and want to change everything into English, I use the find settings set to something that applies to all. Usually, I uncheck the strike-through option, as this will hardly be used. So you don’t have to care about different typefaces, colour and so on and change everything to one language or whatelse you want to be changed.
