bilingual documents

[andrew]

Does anybody know how to do this?

I am using Word 98 to translate documents all day.

Is there a way to spellcheck a document that has both Spanish and English in
it without having to select and specify what's what?

Yes, there's a way. Create styles for each language (they can even contain
the same typefaces and formatting, just name them differently) and assign a
different language to each one (with the Set Language command). Apply the
appropriate style to each paragraph. (Say "Normal English", «normal
castellano», etc.)

I do it all the time mith multilingual documents, so Word will know which
paragraph is Spanish, German, French, Dutch, etc. Then Word does the
checking in one fell swoop.
