Are you looking for a spell checker or a translator?

MS Office Word check the spelling automatically when you are writting, the only thing that you have to do is configure the dictionary for do this.

Sorry if I'm be not very clear, but my english isn't really good.

If the language is set to italian, anything spelled wrong will be underlined.

When you are in MS Word and select check spelling look for the option that say dictionary language and select English(United States).

I know the language is set when office is installed. I'm not sure if you can change the default once it's already installed.

You could use a language converter like this

The OS is installed in English and ALWAYS continue in english, the only thing that you can do is change the input language of your keyboard and the default MS Office check spelling language.

For change it to Italian language, you need re-install the OS in this language.
