Edit documents created with wrong langauge--How to reset to Englis

[Cast A Spell- checker]

We have many documents written in English however, some began in Spanish or
have a format from our German company.

If I spell check, it keeps going away from English. Telling the document in
spell check that the language is English is not good enough. It will revert
to Spanish on the third mispelled word.

Where is there a total reset for the entire document? It is not in spelling.

Turn off the automatic detection option from the language dialog, select the
whole document and apply the language of choice. Or use a macro attached to
a toolbar button to do all that:

Sub SetToEnglish()
With Selection
.WholeStory
.LanguageID = wdEnglishUK
.NoProofing = False
End With
Application.CheckLanguage = False
End Sub


(Change UK to US if appropriate)

Thank you!!!!!!
Oddly it worked better with auto detection on.
But thanks for pointing out the key and a double thank you for the macro,
which makes very fast to apply to all our crazy documents.
