Global way to change spell check language in FM10?

Hi, all,

I'm learning FM 10 and trying to figure out if there's a way to change the spell-check language for an entire document or book at once (from English to Spanish, for instance) rather than going through the paragraph designer for each paragraph tag catergory.

Thanks,

Casey B

    Casey,

    You can do this through the Paragraph Designer:

    1. In the Paragraph Designer go to the Fonts tab.

    2. Press Shift+F8 to set everything to "As Is".

    3. Set the Language option to what you want.

    4. Click on the Commands button in the lower left and select "Global Update Opttions"

    5.  Select "Default Font Properties Only" in the" Use Properties in the Paragraph Designer" option at the top,

    6. Select "All Paragraphs and Catalog Entries" in the "Update Paragraph Formats" in the bottom half of the panel.

    7. Click on the "Update" button to change all the language settings.

    It's best to do this in a template and then import the revised tempalte to all of the documents that require the updated language.

    Note: this technique can globally change any paragraph property for all tags. It also works the same way for Charcter tags.
