In that case, I have no explanation.

Yes. I have done all these things. Numerous times I have selected the
entire
document and changed the default language to English, disabled auto
detect,
etc. etc.

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 wo
rds
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?
