Set language for just one document (US instead of Australian)

[Guest]

I'm trying to write an assignment for a US Seminary and need the document in
Word 2000 to be spell-checked in English (US) instead of English (Australian)
where I'm located. Can I set just this document's language to US? What is
happening is that it changes the spell check for just the one word it finds
mispelled (i.e. center for centre). I want to not only spell-check the doc
but also know that I have it correct for US English, rather than for the
Australian English. Can anyone help?

(Sorry I accidentally clicked on "Send" while checking the
procedure out in Word.)

Go to the beginning of the document. Type control-A to
define the whole document.

Then click on:
Tools
Language
Set language

Scroll down to English (US)

Uncheck
[] Do not check spelling or grammar
[] Detect language automatically

Click on OK.

DO NOT CLICK ON "Default".

This will *usually* work. Some Word docs have the language
"hard-wired" into them however and in such cases, the
procedure may not be effective.
