Well, first things first - Language is a *formatting* attribute similar to
font, bold, italics, etc., so the first question is "Where did the content
come from?". If it is a document you received from someone else or has
content that was copied from another location it's quite possible that the
language formatting arose from that source. It's also possible that you may
have applied a Style that includes a Language attribute. Either way the doc
can be reformatted as whatever language is appropriate, but I'm not sure
that's the problem:-)

interesting. This is a file I created myself, and it should not have any
other languages in it. However, when I went to check, it did seem not to
have all of the text have the English attribute. I then selected all, and
chose English from the language menu. At that point, spell check worked for
a little while. But half-way through checking the document, the error came
back!

It sounds more like your personal dictionary file cannot be found. If it has
been moved, deleted or renamed Word's spell check can't find it. Those are
the things you might want to verify first. Spelling & Grammar preferences
will tell you where Word expects to find it so confirm that it is, in fact,
there. It's also possible that the custom file has become corrupted or
damaged, so try opening it in TextEdit & Save As a new file.

nope - it's there, and I see it. In fact, when I hit "edit" from the
Dictionaries menu, it opens it, so I know Word can find it, it exists, and
it's not corrupted (since Word can open it with no problem).

If you still can't clear it up post back with as much detail as you can
about what you tried & wha resulted. There's also some useful info about
Custom Dictionaries in Word Help.

Does this suggest any solutions?

Thanks!!
