Is it possible to have more than one proofing language set in Office products?

Or is there quick way to alternate between them? Or at least quick way to disable proofing for current document I'm working on?

I would like to use different proofing languages for different emails I write and I can't find the easy way to do it.

If you click in the paragraph with the Czech text (don't select anything—just leave the insertion point blinking) and then re-visit the Language dialog box, does it correctly state Czech as the text language?
