You need to set this is Normal.dot template. Try these steps:

1) open Word
2) Tools, Options, Save
3) Now make sure "Prompt to save Normal template" is ticked
4) Tools, Language, Set Language
5) Select your language and click on default
6) Click OK
7) Exit from word
8) you will get a prompt to save Normal.dot - accept it
9) Test whether this has been effected by opeing word again and typing something using Australian English
10) If everything works then you need to remove the tick mark created in 3 above otherwise it will drive you crazy all the time.

Now you have already made ememies with yankees for rejecting their language and so GBush will bomb Australia if he doesn't get re-elected!!

Hope this helps.
