Seemingly random language change

In the middle of a document, Word tells me I have a misspelled word. The word is not misspelled. I right-click on it and Word suggests several French words for the correct spelling. For some reason, Word thinks this word is French. The word is "procurement." Word suggests five similar French words. The entire document is in English; nothing was cut-and-pasted from another source. When I check my editing languages French is installed, as are Spanish and UK English. U.S. English is set as the default.  I type "procurement" on another line and Word is fine with it -- it does not suggest that it is a misspelled French word. The word after "procurement" is "documents." Word does not suggest this is a misspelled French word.

Does anyone have any ideas about why this might be happening?

Answer
Word has a language option to automatically detect the language, which is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard. Start by turning that off and see where it gets you.
