On the Review tab, in the Language group, click on the Language button and choose Set Proofing Language.

Option 1: Set Word to automatically detect the language of your text.

For the spell-checker to work in another language besides English, you just need to make sure that your text is marked as that language: For example, if you have automatic spell-checking turned on, Word shows the red squiggly lines underneath possible misspelled words, or you can choose to run the spell-checker manually. The proofing tools in Office are used the same regardless of language. In the Set the Office Language Preferences dialog box, in the Proofing (Spelling, Grammar) list, if the Spelling & Grammar icon is next to the language that you want, then that language pack is installed.

Open a Microsoft Office program, such as Word.
