Spell check should check THE WHOLE DOCUMENT in another language

[Guest]

In Microsoft Word as well as all of the other office applictions, you can't
spell check a whol document in another language without having to select the
text you want checked in the specific language. I find this annoying to have
to keep on selecting new text that i type and marking the text as a specific
language. Spell check should give the option to check the whole document as
a specific language, without changing the language permanently.

Spell check will check an entire document in any language you like (or any
combination of languages), but the text must be formatted with the correct
language. You can try using the "Detect language automatically" setting in
Tools | Language | Set Language, but it's notoriously poor. If you format
each paragraph, sentence, or word with the correct language (this is easily
done with paragraph or character styles), then you can spell check an entire
document at one time, with the appropriate proofing tools applied to each
word.
