find no proofing content in Word 2007

I need to find content that has been marked as no proofing. It must be there
because at the end of running spell check, Word prompted me about its
existence. In older versions of Word, I would be able to use the Find command
to find language set to no proofing. In Word 2007, that no proofing is not
in the set of language choices in Find dialogue box.

Any ideas on finding content that has been marked as no proofing?

I appreciate any ideas on this.

It certainly should be selectable.

With the cursor in the Find What box, click the More button and then the
Format button, and select Language in the menu. The "Do not check spelling
or grammar" check box is in the lower quarter of the Language dialog. You
may have to click it once or twice to make a check mark appear in it; a
colored square means "don't care" or "ignore this setting". When you click
OK, the phrase "Do not check spelling or grammar" should appear under the
Find What box.

Jay...thanks tons and loads. This worked beautifully. I find the process
rather counterintuitive....but the good news is, it works!
