missing "language" on tools menu

A

I am trying to change the language in a Word doc from English (US) to
Spanish. I know I have done this before, but now "language" is missing
from the tools menu. I tried reinstalling Word, but it is still not
there. Where could it have gone? Thanks!

Make sure you didn't accidentally turn on "Word 5.1 Menus". Look under
View to see if there's a check next to that option. Uncheck if so. 99%
chance that is it. If that isn't the problem:

If you go to Tools | Customize Toolbars/Menus, select the Menu Bar, and
click Reset, it should set all your main menus and built-in toolbars
back to the default.

If you have customized your menus or toolbars, you may want to explore
the Tools | Customize, Commands dialog, and drag the commands you are
missing back to the toolbars/menus yourself, rather than wipe out your
customizations by clicking Reset.

By the way--reinstalling Word should NEVER be the first troubleshooting
step on a Mac.
