Spanish spell checker
I am using the English version of Word 2003 and have typed an article in
Spanish. I have enabled support for the Spanish language through the MS Office Language settings. I also have turned on Automatic Language detection. When I try to spell check in Spanish, "English (US)" appears in the "Dictionary Language:" window. If I change that to "Spanish (Mexico)", or any other form of Spanish, the checker automatically reverts to the former--English (US)--after the first word is checked. How can I get the language for spell checking to remain Spanish until I switch it back to English? I would appreciate any suggestions. |

Did you select the entire document (Ctrl+A) and go to Tools | Language | Set
Language and select "Spanish (Mexico)" and apply it to the document? See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/MasterSpellCheck.htm -- Suzanne S.

The proofing language is a formatting parameter for the particular text. You
must apply it to the text you wish to check in an alternative language. Turn off the automatic language detection, which is at best hit and miss leading to false language selection, and apply the language format to the text. You may find it worth creating a Spanish character style that you can readily apply to Spanish texts - and to add the language to Windows regional settings so that you can switch input languages from the keyboard. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org surfhawk wrote: I am using the English version of Word 2003 and have typed an article in Spanish.
