Latin has limited support, how can I fix this?
I'm trying to type in Latin on my computer, but Word tells me that Latin has
"Limited Support," and the spelling/grammar checks do not work when I type in Latin. Is there any way to fix this? I have Word 2007 and Windows XP |

I don't think there are any proofing tools for Latin, but even if there are,
you would have to purchase and install them. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "RobertoDole" wrote in message ...

Hi Roberto,
Limited support indicates that the Windows support for a particular language/keyboard hasn't been enabled. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/he...245231033.aspx There aren't any proofing tools for Latin available (other than using Serbian Latin, or one of the Latin/Romance languages) although Word 2007 does use pseudoLatin for creating sample text On a blank line type =lorem() and then enter for an example. You may want to look into 3rd party products as well. http://www.alphadictionary.com/direc...Romance/Latin/ or search online for Latin Spell check ============ "RobertoDole" wrote in message ...

=lorem() produces a different chunk of lorem ipsum from any I've seen, not
to mention a much smaller chunk than my "lorem" AutoText entry, so I think I'll stick with the latter. Apparently you can introduce an argument for the number of paragraphs but not (as with =rand()) for the number of sentences in each paragraph. That's actually an improvement because quick brown foxes are so repetitive that they don't make good sample text. -- Suzanne S.

On a blank line type
=lorem() and then enter for an example That's neat Apparently you can introduce an argument for the number of paragraphs but not (as with =rand()) for the number of sentences in each paragraph. That's actually an improvement because quick brown foxes are so repetitive that they don't make good sample text. For me it works just like rand() - which is what I would have expected. Note also that rand() in 2007 is much improved and no longer uses foxes, quick or brown or any other sort. -- Enjoy, Tony "Suzanne S.

I knew about the improvement in =rand() but haven't used it. And yes, you're
right about the arguments; I was using (5,2), and it was less obvious that each of the five paragraphs had two sentences because there is such a pronounced difference in sentence length (a good thing, of course). -- Suzanne S.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your answer. I just wanted to point out that the word "Latin" in "Serbian Latin" refers to the script used to write in Serbian. Serbian is the language and can be written with the Latin script or with the Cyrillic script (hence the distinction between Serbian Latin and Serbian Cyrillic). You have the same distinction for languages such as Azeri, Bosnian, Uzbek, etc, which can also use the Latin or Cyrillic alphabets, so this is not about the Latin language. I hope it helps, ;-) Thierry Thierry Fontenelle [MSFT] "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Hi Roberto, There aren't any proofing tools for Latin available (other than using Serbian Latin, or one of the Latin/Romance languages) although Word 2007 does use pseudoLatin for creating sample text |

Don't say that in Serbia ... if you write it with roman script, it's
Croatian. On Mar 18, 4:23*pm, Thierry Fontenelle [MSFT] wrote: Hi Bob, Thanks for your answer.

Hi Grammatim,
A distinction is made between Serbian Latin, Serbian Cyrillic and Croatian: these are distinct languages which have different LCIDs and identifiers (locales). They also have different ISO codes. See from http://blogs.msdn.com/kierans/archiv...27/774637.aspx 041a hr-HR Croatian Croatia 101a hr-BA Croatian (Latin) Bosnia and Herzegovina 0c1a sr-Cyrl-CS Serbian (Cyrillic) Serbia 1c1a sr-Cyrl-BA Serbian (Cyrillic) Bosnia and Herzegovina 081a sr-Latn-CS Serbian (Latin) Serbia 181a sr-Latn-BA Serbian (Latin) Bosnia and Herzegovina See also the different pages about the Serbian and Croatian languages on Wikipedia, for instance. Or this article in Encarta: http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_...Languages.html I hope it helps, Thierry Fontenelle [MSFT] "grammatim" wrote: Don't say that in Serbia ... if you write it with roman script, it's Croatian.
