Has anyone else ever seen this issue? We've got several users who have had their Word suddenly start spell checking in Portuguese or German (the top 2 - French has also become an issue). The odd thing is, there are no foreign languages in the document. Was able to locate a Q article for repairing, but the system reverts back to same symptoms after a couple of weeks. Hoping someone else has seen this.

Something similar once - Go into control panel and check your keyboard settings relevant to your country language,(english/british or english/american etc - delete any that are loaded that do not apply) go through all drop down menues in that section and make any changes relevant.
You may need your Windows CD here when you click "OK" so have it ready. If there are changes you may need to reinstall or update your "Word" program - I would suggest you do this anyway regardless then go into Word 'options' and select the working dictionary you require. Then shut down and reboot.(NOT RESTART)

Further to my approach in "user deleted" [I changed my profile].
Make sure that your 'Regional Settings' in Control Panel are set to your 'Time Zone' check the other drop down menus for currency symbol etc are set to your requirements. Best ofluck.
