MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / August 2005MS Word Windows 2000 language
I have attempted to type a letter in Spanish(Mexico) and it seems to auto detect that it is Spanish but after the auto detect button comes on a character of two later the Word application closes. I have attempted this on a PC using Windows 98 and it does not do the same thing. I am a little confused. > I have attempted to type a letter in Spanish(Mexico) and it seems to auto > detect that it is Spanish but after the auto detect button comes on a > character of two later the Word application closes.

I have no idea why it is closing, but I found the AutoDetect feature to be absolutely annoying. I'm a translator and I write in both English and Spanish, all day. Parts of my documents would be formatted as English, part as Spanish, and it really screwed up the spellchecking. I would disable that feature, and then maybe write a macro to switch languages. Or create a Spanish and an English document template, and choose one of them whenever you start a new document.  SignatureSteven "In my prime I could have handled Michael Jordan.

What I did was customize a toolbar to include the Language drop-down, so I don't have to go looking for it deep in the Tools menu. ------------ -Ted |
