False misspelled words in Tables

[Steve Cosby]

In addition to the display issue, we have one other item that we can't seem
to figure out.

In some tables, Word does the red underline that a word is misspelled. Most
of the time, the spelling is correct. When you right click on the word, one
or two "suggestions" are given but none of them are correct.

Anybody else see this behavior? Any fix?

Thanks in advance,

We just found it.

For some reason, Word selects the French dictionary in tables. You can
reset to English by manually selecting "English" from the right-click menu on
the falsely reported misspelled word. Now, how to stop it (?)

Are you using a table style? The language may be part of the paragraph/font
formatting.

Interesting thought. I went and checked the styles in the table and did not
find "French" anywhere. I checked the individual styles and the overall
table.

It just seems that the "auto-detect language" part just comes up with
"French" at inopportune times.

Very strange.

Oh, that's why we suggest disabling language auto detection. It's not as
smart as it thinks it is.
