Language selection
The menu shown when you click on the Spell Checker icon on the InfoBar lists all the
languages for which you have dictionaries installed.
To change the language associated with all the text objects in your document, choose
the required language from the "DOCUMENT LANGUAGE" submenu. Now all the text objects
in the document will be checked against the dictionary for the language you chose.
To change the language associated with an individual text object, select the text object
with the TEXT TOOL and choose the required language from the Spell Checker menu.
Now the text object will be checked against the dictionary for the language you chose.
When you change the current document language, you will be asked whether all existing
text in the document should also be set to the chosen language, or left unchanged.
If you don't want any of the text objects in your document spell checked at all, then select
"DOCUMENT LANGUAGE" > "NO LANGUAGE (IGNORE)". And If you have individual text objects
which you don’t want to be spell checked, select the object using the TEXT TOOL and
choose the "NO LANGUAGE (IGNORE)" option from the Spell Checker menu
When you open an older document, the document language is automatically set

documents have their document language set to match the language setting of the
current device, as with previous versions of Web Designer Premium.
