Hi,
I'm using MS Office 2013 and for some reason, Word keeps automatically changing words I type in French to English. My Word itself is in French and the language settings are also set to French, however, when I go to Options--> Proofing--> Autocorrect options


It says the language is set to English (United States). This probably explains why it changes the words, but how do you permanently change that language?
I'm talking about this screen here:

Thank you!

Change the default language via Review tab | Language | Set Proofing Language. In the dialog box, be sure to clear the "Detect language automatically" check box. When you are done, click the Set as Default button.

Note that changing the default does not affect existing documents. You may have to select all content and manually specify the language for the selection, again via Review | Language | Set Proofing Language.
