I received a document from another Word user. When I tried to check the
spelling in the document, I got a message telling me that the French
dictionary was not loaded, and asking if I wanted to add it. I clicked OK.

When I ran spell check after that, it stopped on words that were spelled
correctly. The title bar in the spell checker reads "Spelling and Grammar:
French (France)."

How do I remove the French dictionary as the default dictionary for spell
check on this document?

I'm running Word 2003.

Thanks.
