Remember that characters have properties. If you have installed the en, it, and de dictionaries, you can spell check all three in the same document, if you wish. Highlight the section in Italian, for example, then: Right click >Character >Language and so on with the other language sections. If the whole doc is set to EN, then DE and IT show as incorrect. If each section is set to it's proper language, and the dictionaries are installed, then all three could be checked at the same time. regads, Richard.
