Default How do I switch the dictionary language in Word 2003?

I have the same issue and have set my dictionary to English (US) and
unchecked the Auto detect language but during the spell check, about 2/3
into the doc, the dictionary switches to French. I can't seem to "force" the
spell check to be in English only - any other suggestions? Thanks.

The language is a formatting parameter of the text. The usual reason for
switching is pasting text from a web page.
You can minimise the problem by setting tools language set language
uncheck 'automatically detect' (There's a similar option in Word 2007).
Any text reporting the wrong language can be selected (CTRL+A) and the
correct language re-applied.
