Spell checking
Firstly my apologies if this is a dumb question.... At the moment i am writing an article for an American publication and understandably they would like me to use the correct spellings according to an American dictionary. However being British I use the UK dictionary setting on Office and I am wondering if it is possible for me to spell check a single doc in a different language without completely swapping the language setting for office to English (U.S.)? Granted in the time it has taken me to try to find out, fail and then write this i could have done it already but i just thought i would ask! Cheers. |
