MS Word spelling problems?

[javasaurus]

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?

See if you somehow changed the document language. I've had that happen when it thinks I'm trying to type in French or something and I just want plain English. Usually this happens after I use a French phrase or word with the correct accents etc.

Another thing is, occasionally on Windows, systems drop needed core files. Like dictionary.txt. It's a pain.
