Well, the only way you'd get a text string pasted as unformatted text to show up as all spelling errors as your screen shot indicates is if there is a mismatch between the languages. To demonstrate that there is a mismatch between the languages in your document, open it, select all (Ctrl-A), then press Ctrl-Spacebar. All your formatting will immediately change, because someone has overridden the document's Style definitions, and most of the text will be marked as spelling errors - due to a language conflict. the underlying cause of that conflict is that whoever compiled the text used a mix of Cyrillic and Latin characters (and perhaps characters from other character sets too), evidently to impede those who would use their copyright material - and make it more traceable. Beyond that, your nominal proofing language for the text is set to US English, but that isn't what the Latin text would be, anyway.
