Default Language for spellcheck

I am trying to help someone who's spellcheck comes up in French. We have
checked everything I can think of and all of it is set to English including
the Language on the Review/Proofing tab. However, when she clicks spellcheck
and it finds a work, the dialog box is showing French. How do we get this to
be English?

Default Language for spellcheck

Hello Barbara,

what sometimes happen is that the text itself is set to be checked in French.

So you can change all other settings, when the text was set to be in French,
it will remain so.

So try to select the text and then from Tools - Spell check pick your
desired language.

I hope it helps

If not, contact me via my website
