Make spellcheck simpler for other languages

[Harry]

Wow, I really hoped that my new version of office would make correcting other
languages easier, but you must first SELECT your words, then SELECT LANGUAGE,
then hit spellcheck. Why not just tell office, "Hey, I'd like this ENTIRE
document to be corrected in SPANISH (or any applicable language) ALL THE
TIME, not just when selected. This is particularily time consuming and
annoying with powerpoint, as selecting all does not select the text in all
the slides. Telling office to make spanish my DEFAULT seems to do no good as
well. Please of please make this simpler!

In Word: Tools > Language > Set Language

- Choose the default language you want.
- Remove the check mark from "Detect language"
automatically.

OK etc your way out.
