Mark text as another language

You can mark text in a publication as being in another language. This enables you to use a thesaurus, to hyphenate, and to check the spelling for text in multiple languages.

Notes

• You cannot set WordArt as being in another language.
• You can set the language in merge fields, but the fields will not be spellchecked or hypenated, nor will they be looked up in the thesaurus if the text was selected prior to opening the thesaurus.
• Web form controls marked as being in another language are not spellchecked, but any text associated with them is spellchecked.

1. Select the text you want to mark by doing one of the following:
   • Highlight a portion of text within a frame.
   • Press CTRL+A to select an entire story in connected text boxes.
2. On the Tools menu, point to Language, and then click Set Language.
3. In the Language dialog box, under Mark selected text as, click the language you want.
4. Click OK.

Note  To reset the marked text as being in the default language, immediately click Undo on the Edit menu.
