I am having trouble with the spell checker in pages.

I have checked "check spelling while typing" and set the language to British English. However, the language keeps changing back to none and the spell checker still isn't working! Any ideas? I am using a MacBook Air with the latest software. I have checked for updates but there aren't any. Thank you in advance for your help!

Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Language & Text > Language > Edit List > check British English > OK > drag British English to the top of the list
It is now your default language.
The Language in Pages is only for selected text and is applied like a color or font to the text.
If you paste or drag in text from elsewhere like the Internet, you are dragging in text which has no, or wrong language applied. Either Paste & Match Style or select the unassigned text and apply your language to it.
