set language for all document elements

[Stefan Janse van Rensburg]

Dear list,

How do I convert a table, paragraph or figure marked as US English
into UK English, when the document is already set to UK English
(Document - Settings - Language)?

I have set my document to use UK English (British), but when I copy
and paste tables from another Lyx document written in US English,
these copied items are underlined as being in foreign language
(underlined in blue).

While I know how to deactivate the blue underlining, it still doesn't
convert those items into UK English. Selecting everything and setting
the document to UK English also doesn't do the trick, and I fear I'll
end up with a document containing a horrid mixture of US and UK
English.

I am using Lyx 1.5.5 on Ubuntu 8.04. The Lyx binary was obtained from
the backports repository.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Stefan

I use EditTextStylecustomize to change the language of a piece of text.
( The menus can be different, mine are in french ! ).

Hope it helps.

Thank you, that worked. (Menus were the same.)
