Take a look at Tools>Options>language Settings>Languages What do you have
there for "Default language for documents"? I think this may be the cause of
your problem. In the drop-down list of languages, if a language doesn't have
a little "ABC" and a blue tick (check mark), then the dictionary for that
language isn't  installed and you won't be able to spellcheck in that
language. You can get dictionaries from
