Thanks, Terry. That did the job.

SelectAll (the whole document) and go to Tools, Language, Set Language,
chose your default language, uncheck Detect Language Automatically and
then click the DEFAULT button. Answer Yes to the prompt. If you don't use
French (or any other language), I recommend that you uninstall them using
the Office Language setup tool.

I'm revising an old document in Word 2003, running in Win XP Pro SP3, and
I find that on a few pages the spell-checker thinks I'm working in
French. When I go to ToolsSpelling and Grammar, the language is indeed
shown as French. When I change it to English, it changes itself back to
French.
I'd be grateful for an explanation and help in sustaining my Anglo-Saxon
heritage.
Many thanks, Dan
