Duel Language Documents
Is there a way to set word to always accept a document when the first
word can be either English or Spanish, then subsequent parts of the document can alternate between the two languages. My normal template is set to English, claro. -- Yours, Dan S. Notably: not a sock |

Duel Language Documents
Was the subject of your post a Freudian slip? Duelling seems to cover the
issue quite nicely Provided the relevant text is formatted in the appropriate language then you can have as many languages in the document as you need. It might be worth setting up a Spanish character style to aid formatting. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Dan S. wrote: Is there a way to set word to always accept a document when the first word can be either English or Spanish, then subsequent parts of the document can alternate between the two languages.

For a start turn off the language option to automatically detect the
language (tools language set language in Word 2003 for example). Select some text formatted with the Spanish language. Then click the AA symbol at the left end of the formatting toolbar (Word 2003) and create New Style. Set the type as a Character style. And save it as (say) Spanish Text. Assign a keyboard shortcut and then use that style to apply the Spanish proofing to text in your document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Dan S. wrote: Graham Mayor formulated the question : Was the subject of your post a Freudian slip?
