A really useful article - but why oh why does Microsoft make a simple thing like spell check so damn complicated that it requires a long article like this?

Your question may have been rhetorical, but no one here works for Microsoft, so we can't tell how they were thinking when they designed the spellcheck feature.

That is the article on the subject and has been years in the making. Spell check has been like that since at least Word 97.

So, what happened when you selected the misspelled text and checked the language setting?
