Re: Using two dictionaries concurrently

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have the same problem -- in my case with French.

It's just not very practical to Select Language when the text is all
mixed up -- Let's say I'm writing in English about a poem in French, I
could be quoting one line of French in the middle of an English
paragraph. I really would like to be able to simply Spell Check the
document as a whole... without switchign back and forth.

Howevaire... I kind of doubt that's possible, right?

Yes. But you need to tell Word which dictionary you want to use for
which words. Select your writing in Spanish, then go to Tools | Language
and select Spanish. Click OK (do *not* click default). Word will now
spellcheck only the text you selected in Spanish. Same for English UK.

More information here, with various tips linked on speeding up the
formatting.

How are you choosing dictionaries now? Word doesn't really have an
option for you to "choose a dictionary" like that.

I often find myself switching between languages in the same document, and
even between different versions of the same language (American and British
English). If I select the American English dictionary, "honourable" will be
flagged as an incorrect spelling. If I choose the British English one,
"organization" will be out of bounds. And when I insert a quotation in
Spanish, the whole thing will be underlined in shameful red. Is there a way
to use two or more dictionaries concurrently?
