Default Word 2003 Dictionary Language

Unfortunately, I don't know what you mean by "The language attribute is an
individual per character setting."

Cindy,
Thanks. "Detect..." was checked and all forms of French are checked
on this document. How do I "uncheck" them?

Hi ?B?TXVuZ01hbg==?=,

I have a doccument that I wrote in English and how for some reason
when I try to spell check it my system is using a French
dictionary. I checked MS Office 2003 Language Settings and the only
enabled language is English (US). I had this problem once before
and accidentially figured out how to change the dictionary back to
English but cannot recall how I did it?

Have you tried Ctrl+A, then Tools/Language/Set language, choosing
English?

And while you'rein this dialog box, check if the "Detect language
automatically" checkbox is activated? If it is, that would/could
explain how you ended up with French.
