Howdy,

I just opened up a document in MS word and for some reason its telling me all my English words are spelt wrong and changes them to the closest spanish word when it can.

How do I switch it back to English?

Which version of MS Word are you using? Are you the only one who uses the computer? Have you recently translated any English phrases in word documents to Spanish?

The document was written on a school computer and then the file was sent to me. I'm using the latest MSWord (2007)

Thats funny I should start doing that to people. In Word 2000 Tools menu hit the little arrows to expand it then select languages. I'd imagine its somewhere similar in other versions.

You're evil BBE, I'm gonna go see if that works. I tried to C&P it to a new Word document earlier and it didn't work.

There is no Tools menu in MS Word 2007, but if you click review I found that I can change the language.

Yay!

Tools->Language->Set Language

Change it to whatever you desire, exit the program and restart it with the document. You should be all set.

MSWord doesn't have a Tools section.
