What version of Word?

In theory there should be no difference between an installation in a langauge, and an installation in a different language with a language pack for the first language, so what language do you see in the UI?

In VBA you can use:

[blue]Application.LanguageSettings.LanguageID(msoLanguageIDInstall)[/blue]

Enjoy,
Tony

Hi karerda,

Are you referring to the installation language, which determines what's shown on the menus, or the spell-check language?

The former, you can test via a macro:

Sub AppLanguage()
MsgBox Application.Language
End Sub

This returns a language ID code. You can find the corresponding language name via the vba Object Browser.

The spell-check language can be found via Tools|Language|Set Language, though you could use vba for that too if need be.

If
