How do I remove unused languages from the drop-down language bar?
I type documents in three different languages--when I want to switch to
spell-check in another langugae, I must scroll through the drop-down bar of several hundred languages to reach Spanish. How do I remove unused languages from the scroll-down bar, so only those I use appear in the language bar and the "set language" icon? |

How do I remove unused languages from the drop-down language bar?
What version of Word are you using? In Word 2003 and 2007 (can't check
earlier since I have only these two installed at present), the languages I actually use are cached at the top of the list of languages. So, I don't have to scroll though the other ones. Is language caching not working? If not, you can tap the key that the language you're looking for starts with (i.e., tap "s" to scroll to the beginning of languages starting with s). But, I'm surprised that you don't have the ones you've used at the top of the list, separated by a double line from the larger list. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Pattipeg" wrote in message ...

How do I remove unused languages from the drop-down language bar?
This is a suggestion:
Record a new Macro Assign it to a tool bar button OR a short cut key like: [shift]+[alt]+"S" for Spanish record you selecting Spanish language stop the macro recorder and etcetera maybe other letters for other languages [shift]+[alt]+"E" for English [shift]+[alt]+"R" for Russian [shift]+[alt]+"D" for Dutch Macros can become really good friends for repetitive tasks for those who don't program. -- Chris Hayes Still a beginner (only 12 years) [fyi, you can email me by getting rid of the British Comedian''s name who wrote that song about "Spam"] "Pattipeg" wrote: I type documents in three different languages--when I want to switch to spell-check in another langugae, I must scroll through the drop-down bar of several hundred languages to reach Spanish.
