Style language set to French not spellchecking the French correctly
I wanted to be able to have spellcheck work in English for one paragraph and then in French for the next. I created styles to try to do this. In the second style I created, I set the language to French, but the spellchecker is not working properly on the French text entered with that style. I'm using Office 2013. Any suggestions as to why? |

Hi,
When I try the same, it works for me. Have you try it without the style to have English and French section in the same document? Does the spell checking works? Souriane |

Yes the spell checking works if I have only French in the document and the style language set to French. Unfortunately I want to be able to switch easily from one language to the other in the same document.

Have you turned off "Detect language automatically" in the Language dialog box (Review | Language | Set Proofing Language)?
Are you using paragraph or character styles to format the text?

Sorry for the delay in replying. Thank you for your post. No I had not turned off the "Detect language automatically" in the language dialogue box, but after receiving your post, I tried doing that. Unfortunately that has not helped. I am using paragraph styles.

Apply the style with the language set to French, select the text and press Ctrl+SpaceBar. That should clear any direct language formatting and revert to the settings of the underlying style.

Thank you. Your suggestion works. While I had hoped for something more "automatic", I believe we can consider the problem solved, but I don't know how to go about marking the thread as solved. Can anyone instruct me on how to do that?
