Hello all ... I am looking for help in getting a Slovak dictionary and
keyboard support for Mac Office 2004. i have international settings on
for the computer but office, specifically word, keeps reverting back
to english all the time. thanks
First, Quoting John McGhie:
"We need to check is that your system has the languages you want to use
installed. Go to System Preferences>International>Input Menu and ensure the
languages and keyboard you want to use are installed and enabled. (UK is
under British)
Look on your Menu Bar for the flag for the language you want to use (e.g. If
you are using "English Australian", there should be an Australian flag
there.) If either of these are wrong, Word will be asking for dictionaries
that may not exists.
Now bring up Word, and click in a sentence you want to spell-check. Go to
Tools>Language and make sure that the "Mark Selected Text As" blue selection
bar is highlighting the language you want to use. And make sure the "Do not
check spelling or grammar" box is not checked."
If Word does not highlight the right language, you need to tag the text with
the language formatting For a one time solution, you can just select the
text and apply it via Tools | Language as direct formatting. For frequent
use, you should probably create a style that includes the Language tag. For
constant use, you probably want to redefine the Normal style (usually
default, and most other styles are based on it) so that it includes
Slovak--for that:
To Modify a style, go to Format | Style, make sure the correct style is
selected in the left column, click Modify. In the next dialog, check ³add
to template² but do *not* check "automatically update." Use the dropdown
Format menu at the bottom of the dialog to access the various options, or in
Word 2004, some options are duplicated in the Modify dialog.
