Spell check

I have a .TXT file. Each row has three columns:

1. a number
2. a city name
3. a Zip Code

When I open the file with EXCEL 2003 and click "TOOLS/SPELLING", it
finds misspelled city-names.

But, when I open the file with WORD 2003 and click TOOLS/SPELLING &
GRAMMER, a box appears saying "The spell check is complete". It does
NOT find the misspelled city-names that EXCEL 2003 found. (I've even
removed the "Custom Dictionary" but the misspelled city-names are still
not being found).

How do I get WORD 2003 to find the misspelled city-names?
 
After opening the file, press Ctrl+A to select the whole document.
Then go to Tools > Language > Set Language. Make sure English is
selected, and make sure the "Do not check spelling and grammar" box is
not checked. Click OK, and then try the spell check.
