First things first, have you installed the required dictionaries? Tools->

Of course, I have the dictionaries installed: I'm not complaining that
spell checking doesn't work. I'm complaining that the menu mentioned in
the Subject line does not always include the languages I'd like to use,
so I have to use the long-winded way instead.
I see where your problem lies.
The Tools|Languages menu seems to have odd properties. Not having
explored this before [ :-{ ] I took a look. It showed just English (UK)
and English (USA) entries - at least at first. But I know full well I
have assorted other 'englsh' dictionaries install, plus a few French
ones. Checking again with some garbage text showing added Albanian to
the list (which went away when the text was deleted!) - and I found that
typing some French in added French to the list -- so maybe the system is
dynamic and perhaps too clever for its (our?) boots!?? (Worked for
German too - about my limit!)
I wonder if that helps?
