Bug with footnotes and language

K

Klaus Linke

There doesn't seem to be any way to specify the language for footnotes:
In the German version, Word2003 always applies "German" as manual formatting, no matter what's defined in the "footnote text" style or its base style.

Strangely, the bug goes away if you watch it: Open the "Reveal formatting" taskpane to see where the language "German" comes from, and new inserted footnotes will get the language defined in the style.

Is this a bug in all versions?

Hi,

I had this problem last week and solved it by open "Reveal formatting"
taskpane and changed the default language in Normal in that document.

Hi Ulf,

Thank you! What language version do you use? I'm not sure if it's a localization problem in the German version, or a problem in all versions. If the former, I'll try to contact MS Germany about it...

Hi Klaus,
I use the Swedish version. In Normal, the language was French, and I have
never used that before.
