You would not have seen the blue underlining in Word 2003 because it
indicates "contextual spelling," which is new in 2007.

Dear Suzanne,
yes, I had the whole text selected.
I tried the same thing now again, after some 3 weeks, and must make my
information more accurate:
Red underlining of misspelled words disappeared, it is OK from this point
of
view, but blue underlining (just it was my major problem) remained. In
general, grammatical rules are comparatively severe and it is nearly
unavoidable (e.g. in column headers) to write a correctly spelled header,
whereas its "grammatical regularity" can be hardly obtained.
I have Word 2003 no more installed, and though I am working in the same
manner as before, I do not remember to be bored by blue underlining while
working with Word 2003

When you changed the language, did you have all the text selected?

I met a similar problemnow, in 2010:
My PC & Office 2007 are both configured to Czech language. Recently I
got
a
document written in Czech whereas the language in it was (incorrectly)
set
to
Slovak. To avoid ridiculous spell-checking I changed the language to
Czech,
expecting that all becomes OK by itself. But the red underlining did
not
disappear. When I manually started spell checking, the "Slovak
language"
came
back, instead. After that, I was seeking and found this post I am just
replying to. I was ready to delete the Registry key, as Chris was
advising,
but I found no such key in the Registry.
To continue my effort I heuristically tried to change the document
format
from 2003 to 2007, checked & unchecked the Compatibility mode, but it
brought
no result.
Evidently, there still is an error of this kind in Word 2007.
Does anybody know a solution?

This is not the only shortcoming concernig spell-checking I have met in
Word
2007. I was used to provide some specific text strings (which in fact
were
not words of the language but abbreviations etc.) by the "do not
spell-check"
attribute to avoid red underlining. I didn't find this facility in Word
2007
any more. When I want to get rid of useless and incorrect red
underlining,
I
must do things like create a new style with this attribute and apply
it,
but
to simply select a piece of text regardless of paragraph boundaries and
assign "do not spell-check" works no more.
