How To Change Language On Word Mac



With Office 2011 for Mac, you can check spelling and grammar in languages other than English.

Word 2011 for Mac comes with foreign-language dictionaries such as Czech, French, Russian, and you can also change the ‘brand’ of English (UK, US, Australian).

The macro below works in Word 97

What the macro does

This macro saves a lot of clicking and scrolling (Tools/Language/Set Language/(scroll down...)/Default/YES/OK). After you have run it, any quotation marks and other elements that you type will be displayed properly in your target language.

NOTE:
- Change the text marked in blue to match your target language;
- There must be NO SPACES in the name that you give to the macro.

How to set up the macro
