Hello,

my word document is set to the English language (via: tools -> set language
-> english U.S.). But if I draw a text box in a drawing canvas and type
something the text is checked with the Dutch spelling checker.
I tried setting the language to default English. Tried selecting everything
(Ctrl +A) and setting the language to English but nothing seems to work.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Note that text box contents are not included when you Select All. For an
existing document, you can select the contents of each text box separately
and then specify the desired language, via the Language dialog box.

For more on language formatting, especially on setting the default language
in Word, see http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/LangFmt.htm.
