Have you ever been typing a document in a foreign language and wished you had spell check to review your work?  Well, with the help of three simple steps in Microsoft Word 2007 you can!

 

Setting the language of text

 

 

1. Select the text that is in the language you want to set

2. In Word 2007, on the Review tab, click the Set Language command.

3. Select the language that the text is in, select Detect language automatically, and then click ok.

By setting the language of the text, you tell the spelling checker which dictionary language to use to check your spelling.

 

Language dialog box with proofing tool icon selected

 

When you check the spelling and grammar of text in a language you are using the proofing tools for that language. You can be sure the language’s proofing tool is installed on your computer if the Spelling & Grammar icon appears to the left of the language in the Language dialog box.

For more information on checking spelling and grammar in another language listen to the tutorial from Microsoft Office Online.
