MS Word spelling problems?

About half-way through a document, the spelling dictionary goes wacky.

All of a sudden, it doesn't know words like "seed" and "oil" (though it did offer a spelling suggestion of "oil" with an umlaut over the i). If I type "seed" in the first half of the doc, it's fine. If I type it (carefully, no typos!) later in the doc, it gets a red squigly.

WTH?

First guess: there's a section break with a different language selected (under Tools). That's just a guess, though.

OK, fixed it. Thanks! I pasted a couple of lines from a foreign journal, and I guess it brought it's language codes with it!
