When using Word 2011 for Mac, when I paste an image or create a new line after selecting all text and changing the language, the document will at those places change language.

This is very annoying, so is there a way to force Word to only allow one language in the document no matter what happens?

  • you can create a macro which selects all document contents and changes it to the desired language. also, you can make a quick access button for it. Dec 31, 2012 at 13:59
  • @Znau Is it possible to make a macro, which changes the language while keeping the current selection/caret position? ActiveDocument.Content.LanguageID = lang, seems to change the language, but it doesn't work.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/179596 - go to "Language" section. Simply remove other languages and set default the one you want. However, I think that setting the default language alone will do it.

    @Emestas I normally write in 2 different languages, so I can't remove all the others.

Choose your language in tab Review > language then uncheck Detect laguage automatically from the status bar.
