Open the document. Press Ctrl+A to select all of the text. Click on
Tools | Language | Set Language | Mark selected text as: English(UK) |
uncheck the "Do not check spelling or grammar" and "Detect language
automatically" boxes | OK. Press F7 to rerun spellcheck.

Make sure to shut off "Detect Language Automatically" in the Set Language
dialog.

If that doesn't work, are you using an English UK keyboard? (Windows Control
Panel, Regional Options dialog)
