expression.LanguageID

expression    Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Remarks

For a custom dictionary, you must first set the LanguageSpecific property to True before specifying the the LanguageID property. Custom dictionaries that are language specific only look at text formatted for that language.

Some of the constants listed above may not be available to you, depending on the language support (U.S. English, for example) that you’ve selected or installed.

Example

This example formats the second paragraph in the active document as French and then adds a new custom dictionary that will be used on the French text.

ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(2).Range.LanguageID = wdFrench
Set myDictionary = CustomDictionaries.Add(Filename:="French.dic")
With myDictionary
    .LanguageSpecific = True
    .LanguageID = wdFrench
End With
		

This example redefines the Title style to use the Spanish proofing tools. The new style description is then displayed in a message box.

ActiveDocument.Styles("Title").LanguageID = wdSpanish
MsgBox ActiveDocument.Styles("Title").Description
