I guess my question is why, if the language applied to the text matches the
proofing tools, you have so many words marked as misspelled. The idea of
"Check spelling as you type" is to allow you to correct the words as you go.
If you do this, you should not be getting the "Too many spelling errors to
display" message unless you have a lot of proper names or the like. If you
don't want to add them to the dictionary, you can select those specific
words and format them not to be proofed.
