Spell checking question
I am using a recently acquired Word 2007 in Windows 7. I am not sure if
this is a bug or if I am doing something wrong. The document I am writing includes numerous phrases in French which the spell checker obviously flags as misspelled. If I right click to correct the spelling, one of the options is "language" and if I select that and click on French, word still finds it misspelled, even though on re-checking French remains selected. If on the other hand I instead select the phrase and then "Set language" - this time from the ribbon - then Spell checking works correctly for that French phrase. Does the choice of Language in the right mouse click not work or am I misunderstanding its function? Thanks. Jeff |

Spell checking question
Assuming that you have the French spelling checker installed, I believe the
issue you describe concerns *when* the change of language is re-checked after right clicking and setting the changed language. Having applied the language you need to type another character in order for Word to re-evaluate. Whether this is a bug or a feature I am unable to say. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org wrote in message ...
