Example

This example formats the second paragraph in the active document as French, then adds a new custom dictionary, that will be used on the French text.

ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(2).Range.LanguageId = wdFrench
Set myDictionary = CustomDictionaries.Add(Filename:="French.dic")
With myDictionary
    .LanguageSpecific = True
    .LanguageId = wdFrench
End With

This example redefines the Title style to use the Spanish proofing tools. The new style description is then displayed in a message box.

ActiveDocument.Styles("Title").LanguageId = wdSpanish
MsgBox ActiveDocument.Styles("Title").Description
