Language Proofing in PowerPoint (M365)

Question

I want to change the default proofing language in my M365 PowerPoint to English (UK).

The language preference is in the bottom left status bar, and set to English (US) - but it won't let me change it.

I've checked the settings of my M365 account and all my preferences are already set to preferred UK.
