Hi all,
The language is a property of the text, either characters or style. So
the best is to go to the style of your text and change the
language. - F11
Apparently it's much easier using the Format > Character menu in
following Thomas's directions (substituting "change" for "know what the
language setting is" and "section of text" for "word"):
If you want to know what a language attribute a specific word has
(because that will be the language it is going to be spellchecked
with) just select the word and open the "Format/Character" dialog.
There is a tab-page named "Font" and the language being used is the
one you will find there.
I have admit though that using the Format/Character dialog to change the
language setting is done by setting a hard language attribute to the
text. (It is the way most MS users are used too though...)
The usage of styles would be much more elegant and if you commit
yourself to use them always and properly (even if it sometimes
especially if you are new to styles may look like just more trouble)
they offer much more flexibility. Because changing the language or font
or any other attribute in a style will effect all text in the whole
document that uses the same style.
And you create new styles from scratch or existing ones.
Thus you can modify them to fit all your needs.
But since so called hard attributes (those set directly without using a
style) usually will winning over concurring paragraph or character
styles the use of those disrupts the usage of styles to some extend.
If all of your attributes are hard set styles will practically have no
effect at all. :-(
Regards,
Thomas
