The single most important step is to turn off the "Detect language
automatically" option in the Language dialog box.

Is there a way to keep the language permanantely as English (U.S.)?? I do
a
lot with track changes in my job, and when I accept all changes and run a
spellcheck, it goes all goofy and doesn't pick up the misspelled words.
Thanks!
