Spell check in wrong language

I have Word for Mac 2019.  My spell check and grammar check language is not in English US, which is what I need.  I have changed the language using the Review tab, from the System Preferences and Language icon, and from the bottom of the document.  I click on yes to make English my default language, but when I try to use Spell Check, it reverts to Dutch or Italian.  I did an online chat for support and finally gave up as nothing was working.  Is this fixable?

Thank you. I was able to finally fix the problem by highlighting the entire 75 page document I was working on, then going to Review, and choosing English US. Not sure why this fixed it as I have only written in English and have never chosen any other language, but it did.
