SpellCheck fails on a templates from Microsoft Online Templates

Hi everyone :)

I got a interesting issue - I thought my spellchecker stopped working and
looking from all the activity in google - others had the same issue. So I
went through the registry deleting, checking the default language pack, etc -
but no luck. Before I gave up - I tried opening a new document and presto -
Spellchecking worked fine (both underline and pressing the sp button).

So it appears to only occur in this template I have. Is there some way to
see why it doesnlt in this template? Could others be having issues - but it
only be occuring in one document and not everywhere? I tried it on 3
computers all cannot spellcheck - but it says it does.

Not sure how to post the document in the forums - but if M$ is interested -
I will pass the document along. my email is logikonline[at]hotmail[dot]com -
and I will send it along if someone asks.

Thanks.. I found it but something still seems wrong. The document had the
bit flipped under the Set Language. But oddly enough, it kept flipping back
even after setting it. Until I set it - saved, closed and ropened. then it
stayed set and worked.

I still feel that it is a minor bug but a sufficent work around is fine.

You do have to select all the text before clearing the "Do not check" check
box, and be aware that pasting text in can adversely affect settings.
