Using Internet Explorer: If you visit a web page that has used the lang= attribute properly, when you copy and paste its text into Word, the language setting is preserved. For example, when you copy and paste text from a French website into Word, Word will automatically tag the text as French and use its French dictionary and grammar checker when your dealing with this block of text.
When using any recent version of FireFox, copying and pasting text from international websites into Word results in the text being copied WITHOUT the language attribute being preserved. I'm wondering if this is a known limitation of FireFox (or Word 2003/2007) and if there's a workaround for this, eg. FireFox setting or plugin? I've been googling this topic without success using variations on the following terms: firefox html clipboard word (language|lang) What's odd is that I can't find anyone else with the same complaint. Perhaps I have a FireFox configuration option set wrong? I would appreciate hearing if any of you have had success copying text from FireFox into Word with preservation of language attribute or if you can confirm that this does not work at all.
