Cannot set Language
I have a document which seems to have a mind of its own when it comes to
spelling. I keep having to return to Tool Options Spelling & Grammar to un-tick the Hide spelling errors in this document tick box. Through reading other areas of this site Ive realised that the language is not consistently set. Ive tried Ctrl+A, Tools Language Set Language, but no matter what I do, the dialogue box refuses to adopt a single language for the entire document. The tick box for Do not check spelling or Grammar is green, meaning parts of the document will be spell checked and other parts wont. How can I find out which bits of text have the language set to €śother languages€ť so that I can force them to be the language I want (English (UK)? What am I doing wrong? |

Cannot set Language
Make sure to turn off the auto-detection of language in Tools | Language |
Set Language. That should improve things. In theory, you could then modify the Normal style to include the correct language, but this may not work in a document where problems are already present. Instead, you can set the language of text directly, by selecting all and then choosing the correct language in the Set Language dialog box.
