Mail Merge Spell Check

Hello,

I'm using Word 2002 on a Windows XP Pro SP2 box.
When I'm working on a mail merge document the "Do Not check spelling" option
under TOOLS - LANGUAGE - SET LANGUAGE always seems to be checked. Is this by
default or can we change this so it is automatically not selected?

Thanks....

It's the default, I'm afraid. For almost all fields in Word.

In the main merge document, Ctrl+A then select the language should work.
