Language in Spell-checker

[Guest]

I'm using Microsoft Word 2003, SP2. Someone sent me a Word Doc that I'm
editing. Once done, I run the spell-checker. When I looked at it, a lot of
common English words like "chapter" were underlined as if misspelled. When I
ran the spell-checker, it was running a French dictionary. I tried to
manually set it to English and ran the checker again. This time it gave me
the Spanish (!) dictionary. I checked Control Panel and it's showing my
language as English. What gives? Why is it coming up in other languages and
why won't it correct when I tell it English.

Edit, select all. Then change the language to English via Tools,
Language, Set Language.
