Style and spelling dictionary language correlation (Word 2007)
Hi All,
Can I define a style that uses a specific language for spell checking? I tried to do that with Quick Styles (I wrote a paragraph using desired font, font size and dictionary options (I selected the language and checked box for spelling check)) but it does not keep the spelling dictionary I want to use. Is there a way to do that? Thanks! |

In the absence of a character style or direct character formatting, the paragraph style's character properties should work. [Whew, that sounds more complicated than it should!] Is there a way to do that? Forget Quick Styles for a moment: select a whole paragraph and set the language you want. Then use the dialog launcher in the Ribbon Start | Styles to launch the Styles TaskPane. While the paragraph is still selected, click on the bottom left button (New Style). Name it, and there you go.
