Remarks

For a custom dictionary, you must first set the LanguageSpecific property to True, before specifying the LanguageID. Custom dictionaries that are language specific only look at text formatted for that language.


>Can some kind soul read their Word 97 WordBasic help file entry for ToolsLanguage and let me have the list (someone here has disappeared to Dublin with my Office 97 disk). There seem to have been some changes in the return value between 6.0 and 97 and 97 variants - e.g. English (U.K.) now seems to return English (United Kingdom), sometimes!: what's known as a 'quiet change' I think...although I wasn't too quiet when I tracked it down.

>I don't want to change my code to detect (say) just "English" if there are other non-english variants (English (Pidgin) :-0 ??)
