I would imagine you are typing in English? If that's the case, and the system is using a German dictionary, that would explain all the red underlining. It's checking your spelling against a German dictionary so nearly every word is going to be considered misspelled.


Is your system currently set up for English... and just Word is switching to German... or is your Mac's default language German?

Hello,

As far as I know it was always in English because I have done many homeworks without any glitch. I truly believe its a software issue, because I set word and the system on English but by the time I go back to my homework I can see the red line going like crazy under many many words, then I go back to the settings and I can see it changed back to German after I already changed it to English.

thanks BTW
