I frequently work with BOTH French and English language documents. The
current language bar would is pointless because GB and FR keyboards have
different layouts. I only have a GB keyboard.

To switch language (for spell-check) is a nightma I have to select Tools
- Language - Set Language - and scroll ALL the way down to French. When
selecting a language this way, what interest do I have in seeing all the
other languages listed before 'French' if they are not installed (and never
used)??

I have to do this 3 times a day (unless I leave an office application open).

Word does recognise languages automatically... but has a nervous breakdown
when working on a document containing 2 or more languages.

SUGGESTION:
Office 2007 should have a language toolbar amongst the standard, formatting,
tables and borders, etc. with a quick drop-down menu where one can chose
pre-selected languages.

In my case, a toolbar with French, Spanish and English. Voila!
