Force a Language Setting

I use Word 2003. As a part of my job, I compile and edit documents created in
a non-US dialect of English for use in the US. This is frequently a
frustrating process, as Word seems to track the dialect that particular
passages were originally written in and prefers to use that dialect's
Spelling and Grammer settings for those passages unless I manually 'Set
Language' them back to [English, US].

I would like to force Word's Spelling and Grammer system to always and
without exception use [English, US], irrespective of the original language of
the document or passage that I happen to be editing. Is there any way to do
this?

The text is coming to you tagged as being other languages, so unless that is
changed, Word is just following orders....
