spelling and grammar checks
I edit academic papers, and make a lot of use of Comments.
Sometimes Word spell-checks text in comment boxes, sometimes not - the same in the review pane The same is true of Languange setting - usually it does not affect comment boxes, which still format text according to an original langauge, not to the one I want to use. Why is this? What can I do to fix these problems? -- Jon Morgan of Paraphrase |

Stefan - sorry - previous reply sent itself on tab button - stupid.....
Your note helpful, thanks But 1 Why doesn't template automatically set comment/balloon text language to be the same as document langauge? Is there a setting to make it do that? 2 When I reset the ballon text, I found that it affected some comments, not others - so why does it see some as balloons and others as comments? 3 When I went to reset both, I found them both to Finnish (!). I did work on a diocument a couple of weeks ago by a Finnish author - so how did the languages set themsleves to Finnish then (I didn't set them), and how have they retained that setting, despite the fact that I have worked on about 5 other documents since, in US and Englsih English, as well as by Korean and Italian authors? Surely, once you set the language for a document it should set it for all these subsidiary functions as well - if it's as clever as it says it is! best Jon -- Jon Morgan of Paraphrase "Stefan Blom" wrote: Make sure that the correct language is specified for the Balloon Text and Comment Text styles. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jon Morgan Paraphrase" wrote in message ...

1. There are several possible reasons. By default, the language selection
should be inherited from the Normal style. Perhaps the style may have been modified by someone. Alternatively, it is a result of "Detect language automatically" which should be turned off (se 3 below). 2. I believe this is some sort of bug. 3. Turn off "Detect language automatically" in the Language dialog box. To open the dialog box, click Review tab | Set Language (Word 2007) or Tools | Language | Set Language (older versions). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jon Morgan Paraphrase" wrote in message ...
