Spellcheck prevents copy paste option

Hello,

 

I work as a Translator and one of the first things I do is to set the document's language in Word to English, instantly making nearly every word appear as mispelled, which is what I want. However, Word now refuses to give me the option to copy and paste these "mispelled" words! 

 

When I highlight a "mispelled" word or phrase and right-click, I ONLY get spellcheck options, how do I get copy/paste options back for these words/ phrases???

    After you have copied with Ctrl+C, paste with Ctrl+V. By default, this will display a Paste Options button that lets you "fine-tune" the paste. Does that help?

      Yes, that works. However, I need the special paste options menu because I am often copying from various sources, pdf, word, excel, websites, images, etc. 

       

      The menu does not appear when I right-click on a "misspelled" phrase.
