It's not any particular word. In a paragraph, suddenly a dozen or more words
appear with the red underline, telling me they're misspelled. However,
they're spelled correctly in English, but the spell checker thinks I'm typing
in FRENCH and so doesn't recognize the word. Is there any way to completely
turn off this language thing for good? I'd uninstall it, but knowing the
Microsoft way, it'd probably uninstall ten other things I need. Blecch.

Clearly the word in question is formatted as French. If you insert an
AutoText or formatted AutoCorrect entry that has been saved in another
language, this will change the language at the insertion point.

The problem occurs despite the setting. All of a sudden words will appear
with the red underlining, saying they're misspelled. Right-clicking on the
words pops up possible definitions--all French words.

Okay, this is bugging me seriously now. I have set my language to
US English inside Word and also using the Language Settings.
However, it keeps reverting back to French for some reason. I
disabled every language but English, but French keeps coming back.
How do I fix this?
