Auto correct words in multiple languages
I have the Swiss version of Word with four languages. The
terms inserted for automatic correction in Italian are not all incorporated in the English automatic correction. Do you know how to accomplish this? Thank you |

Auto correct words in multiple languages
AutoCorrect is language specific--there's a different list of AC entries for
each language and it only acts on text set to the same language. The brute force method would be to enter the terms you want in AC for all four languages, via the Tools | AutoCorrect dialog. I feel as though last time someone asked this question, there was *not* a way to open up the AC list and manually edit it, but my memory is vague. If no one else chimes in here, try asking again in the microsoft.public.word.international.features newsgroup, and be sure to state your Word and OS version.

Auto correct words in multiple languages
Although you can edit the list using the utility at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...utocorrect.htm, I think the solution is to be sure that the text is formatted with the appropriate language. Word selects the AutoCorrect file to use based on the language setting at the insertion point. -- Suzanne S.

Auto correct words in multiple languages
Hi Rob,
I have the Swiss version of Word with four languages. The terms inserted for automatic correction in Italian are not all incorporated in the English automatic correction. Do you know how to accomplish this? Which version of Word? (not language, numeric) Generally, if the text is formatted with the correct language, the language is "active" and the necessary proofing tools have been installed, AutoCorrect will respond to the language formatting of the text. This all assumes you have Word 2000 or later. You'll find an article about language formatting in the Tips section of my website.
