John Jason Jordan, This response below is presuming that the language is being changed on a per-paragraph basis (and not on a per word basis). Perhaps you could set up a style for just that portion of the document that uses Spanish ? Press F11, bring up the Style Manager, choose "default", right click and choose "New Style". In the Organizer box, put in a name that you identify with the Spanish style. In the "Font" tab, under Language, choose Spanish; set other attributes (on other tabs) as required, and save the style. When you write the document (or need to change the language for a paragraph), apply different styles to choose different languages. I trust that this is of some use to you. Please ignore if it does not value add.
