I've set mine up in Tools/Options/Language Settings/Languages. There I have set
 - Locale: English (UK)
 - Default language for documents: English (UK) [this entry also has a little 
logo showing a ticked "ABC" indicating that the UK English spell checker is 
available]
Then, also, in Tools/Options/Language Settings/Writing Aids make sure "check in 
all languages" is *not* checked so that only British English will be regarded 
as correct and Americanisms like "color" will show as errors.
