Furthermore, the list archives have the solution time and time again and it takes little time and effort to do a search of these. So you tell us what would have been better.

Gerry, I don't thing Frank or Jonathon are criticizing your assistance, but rather the way the program is set up vis-a-vis languages and styles.

Hi Rod,

Just to point out, I was not the one criticizing GRS, but on the receiving end myself :)

A lot of people seem to have problems with this as evidenced by the number of questions this list sees on the topic.

Agreed - all for the same reason - they do not read the manual! :)

There was a discussion some time back about perhaps separating the language property from the general Styles framework or in some other way making this stuff more intuitive and user-friendly.

I don't know whether the paradigm needs to be changed or how exactly it should be changed, but I do think it is an unfortunate design choice to make the user select the language in multiple locations in order to affect the desired results.

In all honesty Rod, I don't think a paradigm shift will help that much with this sort of problem. The issue is that people expect the spellchecker to work for their
language because the UI is in that language. So unless we have something
that is blatently obvious like a language menu which lists the different languages and is required to be set for each document, then we will always see this issues.

Regards
Jonathon
