Why is Word better than Access when I use several languages?

Why is Word better than Access when I use several languages?

Ummm...

Context?

Perhaps because Word is a word processor, designed to handle words of
language, and Access is a relational database development environment designed
to handle arbitrary data; perhaps because of Microsoft corporate priorities.

Thank you John! I know the difference between Word and Access, but that does not help me. Microsoft ought to fix that problem!

I guess I don't understand specifically what the problem is. What can you do
in Word which you cannot do (and would expect to be able to do) in Access?

Hi John!

In Word you can spell check i several languages at the same time but in
Access every word in another language is unknown = an error.

I am working with a big database with several languages. Than the
proofreading will be very complicated and slow.

My language is Swedish and I use English, German and other languages in my
database file with over 14 000 records.

I'll try to pass on this complaint. Have you reported it to Microsoft as a
bug? Any response?
