Hello, I have noticed that Word automatically changes from what I typed (British English) into American English. Is there a way to stop this manually?

Yes, go to the Tools menu, choose Language, and then scroll up from English (US) to English (UK).

Thanks. Is there any way to make the conversion after I have typed the document? Ideally, I want the program to ask me before it makes each change.

you can turn off AutoCorrect, then when you're done run a spelling/grammar check.
