Hello again,
I didn't receive any error messages, and the words that are being missed are not formatted any differently than the rest of the words in the text. They weren't pasted from any other document or from the Web - just normal words that were typed along with all the rest as I was writing the document.
For example, spell check did not catch the word "botte" instead of "bottle", or the word "follwing" instead of "following". Neither of those misspelled words are correct in English, and my Word setup is for English only. And yet, those and other words were simply not found at all by spell check. It also didn't find contextual issues, such as "Place the completed form in your binder in." And "clues that you can easily drawn upon."
This is why I'm still hoping for some other tool to use to check the spelling. I can't really use an online checker because those tools are only for checking, at most, a few pages. Not the 350 that I need to check.
Thanks again!

Do you see any error messages?

As explained in the referenced article, such language settings can apply to as little as a single character or space and are frequently introduced by pasting from another document or the Web. Once introduced into a document, the formatting can be propagated by typing when the insertion point is in a position with that formatting.
