Select those areas and change the language setting to US English. Also, turn
off the automatic detection of language changes.

In some documents that I use as templates, there are sections of the
document
where spell check will use the French dictionary. I don't seem to have
the
option to change the default back to US English. Anyone encounter a
similar
problem, or have ideas on how to fix it?
