Hello Thang, as far as I know Word can set different languages for arbitrary regions of text. (I "liked" the autodetect language feature a couple of years ago, because it detected my German technical typing to be French, a few lines below it decided that I now write Swedish or something like that... I noticed that only because of the strange quote-signs Word "auto corrected"...) I did not go into language details, so I'm not sure which is the right source of information. You might first do HWPFDocument.getFileInformationBlock().getLid(), but this may return the language of the Word which was used to create the file. Maybe its the default document language - I don't know for sure right now. If the results look strange, try to use CharacterProperties.getLidDefault() or ...getLidFE() for far east versions. To retrieve a CharacterProperties instance get a Range from the document and do something like range.getCharacterRun(index).cloneProperties().
