Hi Team, i am unable to set preferred language for proofing in Word. I have follow the below steps to set the proofing.

Go to Review>Language>Set Proofing Language>Select English (United Kingdom)
Uncheck Detect Language Automatically
Set As Default

I also made English (United Kingdom) as preferred language under options>Language>Office authoring languages and proofing.

But, still its showing English (United States), whenever i go back to set proofing language.

Please help to advise here.

    Changing the default proofing language will set the language for new documents. Do you see the correct language if you create a new, blank document in Word?
