Somehow the spellchecker function has variations of English, French and
Spanish selected to use during spellcheckijng of documents. I cannot find
any info on how to deselt these languages. English is set as my default
language in "set language" and only english is selected in the Microsoft
Office Language Settings yet when running spellcheck it still applies
French
and Spanish agianst the document.ofiice
