The only way to get it to check a document in multimple languages seems to be to check the option to check in all languages, and, when that happens, it seems to check all the languages in the dictionary.list. I know this is stupid. But I have noticed large speed gains when I cut back to the two languages I actually use, though this is -- obviously -- more noticeable on long files. -- Andrew Brown The email in the header does not work very well.
