I have:

* Microsoft Office Home and Business 2013 English on
* Windows 10 Professional English,

but I am editing texts in Polish.

I have permanently changed *Footnote Text*-style's language to Polish, but this is ignored and "reset" to *English (United Kingdom)* each time I add a new footnote:

Each time I add a new footnotes, I need to go to style settings and close this dialog with *OK* (changing *Footnote Text*-style's language to Polish again is not necessary; Polish is correctly checked when this dialog is opened, as you can see on above screenshot).

Or I have to manually change language of this line (for each new footnote).

Even more weird thing is that right after writing a new footnote:

* when I select single word or nothing (only place cursor in footnote's line) -- status bar claims that the language of this line is set to *English (United Kingdom)* (as in screenshot),
* when I select entire footnote's line (i.e. left-click on the left margin) -- status bar claims that the language of the very same line is set to *Polish*,

and then there and back again: *Polish* (when whole line is selected) or *English (United Kingdom)* (when part of it or nothing is selected).

Is this something known -- some bug or weird feature? Is there any workaround for this?

This problem occurs (in my case) for the *Footnote Text*-style's language only. Changes to all other styles and style's properties are permanent and I don't have to change anything manually.

**Edit**: *The style is already defined and has language set to `Polish`. This is the first thing that I did. Yet, language in style definition is always ignored and it is reset to `English (United Kingdom)` when each new footnote is added*.
