Thesaurus Opens If Text Is Formatted for No Proofing

ID: Q94876


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, version 6.0


SUMMARY

If you select a word that contains No Proofing Language formatting and then run the Thesaurus, Word for MS-DOS opens the Thesaurus for the default language. This happens because Word maps the No Proofing Language setting to the default language. If you want Word to open the Thesaurus file for a different language, apply the corresponding language format to the word using the Format Language command.

You can set the default language at three different levels in Word:

  1. Set the default language for the current document only. When you choose the Default button in the Language dialog box, Word displays the following message:
    Do you want to make this the default language for the current document only?
    Choose the Yes button to set the default language for the current document only.


  2. Set the default language for all documents. When the above message appears, choose the No button.


  3. Word sets a global default language, which is hard coded in the WORD.EXE file. In the U.S. version of Word, the default language is English (US). Many international versions of Word offer a choice between two default languages during Setup.
