It's basically the title being German. I can change that, of course, but
somehow I am afraid that I could miss something else or that refreshing the index turns it back (ok, in this case it does not). Anyway it would not be the first time that I accidently put German text in English documents via automatic functions, thus I would be glad if I could just switch the program to inserting English fields/indexes and the like. Greets, Fabian p.s.: switching the standard editing language does not help. "Robert M.

Just to make sure we're talking about the same featu You insert an index through Reference | Index | Insert Index. The following dialog has indeed a language dropdown, and depending on what you select there, the resulting INDEX field gets a different identifier in its \z switch. [I reckon you can insert an index for any language you have installed. The resulting \z switch for English (US) is "1033"; for German (Germany) it is "1031"; for German (Switzerland) it's "2055".] But I haven't really found out what the difference is in switching this language setting -- if there's any, it's not obvious, at least in western languages.

With indices I mean things like a table of contents or the used literature.
But actually I have the same problem with almost any kind of automated text fields like the date. In some cases it works though. Captions are automatically English in English documets, and the Index thing you described is indeed customizable. edit: somehow the automated text fields are in English now. Weired. Yesterday I still had that problem. "Robert M. Franz (RMF)" wrote: Hallo Fabian Fabian wrote: It's basically the title being German.

Presumably you'll see a difference in alphabetical order in Catalan,
Spanish, and some Scandinavian languages. On Nov 3, 6:04*am, "Robert M. Franz (RMF)" wrote: Hallo Fabian Fabian wrote: It's basically the title being German.

Ah -- those are not called "indexes" in Word. But they will siimply
gather the text that you already have in your headings and in your bibliography entries, so I wonder what difference the language setting would make.

I see -- well, no wonder we weren't on the same line then. :-) As for a table of contents, I agree with Grammatim: it only pulls together your headings, so there isn't anything Word might change based on language. Possibly there are QuickParts containing a heading already, and that might be in English or German. If you know what you're doing, it's probably safer to insert a TOC directly without any QuickParts. But actually I have the same problem with almost any kind of automated text fields like the date. In some cases it works though. Captions are automatically English in English documets, and the Index thing you described is indeed customizable. ISTR that date fields pick up the language of the position where they're inserted. To be on the safe side, better force them to a specific language/format with a formatting switch.
