From: PT on 8 May 2010 14:28 Word 2003, Windows XP Home Occasionally (about once every 50 100 documents), the Spell checker will flag a couple of words as misspelled. The words are spelled correctly. But it turns out that Word has, for some unknown reason, decided that it should test these words using the French (France) language. Thus, as an example, Word suggests as alternatives for the English word personal the French words personne or personale I've verified that the default language in Tools | language is English. Its not a real problem. But I'm a curious person (personne?) Any ideas what causes this, and why its so rare?

In Tools | Language | Set Language, clear "Detect language automatically." This should take care of the problem in the future. For existing documents already affected, select all the text and then apply the appropriate flavor of English (again using the Language dialog box). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via NNTP) "PT" <inconnu3939(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:92695355-2877-4386-a9fc-485a079e26be(a)11g2000prw.googlegroups.com...
