Re: How to set a predetermined language in a Word template?

In Windows (not Word), you can switch between a Spanish keyboard and
an English keyboard.

Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages >
Details > Add, and then add either English or Spanish, whichever one
isn't already there, choose which of the zillions of Spanish keyboards
you prefer, and exit all the way out.

You'll now have a Language Bar icon down in the lower right corner of
your Status Bar; click on that and choose the language you want;
toggle between them with left Alt+Shift. You can switch keyboards in
the middle of a word in a Word document if you want.

This has nothing at all to do with the default language setting in
Word. You can change that in your normal.dot template, or you can
change it for each document with Tools > Language > Set Language.

I teach English in Latin America. I am accustomed to using the LatinAmerican
keyboard even when working in English (it's easier than using the English
keyboard when working in Spanish). I wanted to create a Word template with
English as the predetermined language to use on shared computers, but it
keeps resetting to Spanish, I think because the keyboard setting is for
LatinAmerican Spanish. Since I'll be using it on shared computers I don't
want to reset the default language settings for the computer, so I wanted the
language to be set by the template. Any suggestions?
