Unwanted changes to doc template

[john]

When I copy and paste from a pdf document into Mac Word, it changes the
document template, so that, for example, it switches the language to
English (US) from English (UK). I purposefully have the Automatically
Update Document Styles box unchecked to avoid this kind of thing, but
to no avail.

Indebted for advice

It gets worse! If I change back the language (from Tools) to English
(UK) and specify this as the default style, when I save the document
I'm prompted to "Do you want to save changes to document template?" If
I say Yes, then the document changes to English (US); if I say No, then
it keeps showing this prompt every time I close.

How do I fix this?

Many thanks
