3. Select the desired language from the Default Language list.<br />

When you compose new documents they are automatically formatted in the default<br />

language. If you never write documents in which other languages occur, you don’t<br />

need to concern yourself with any of what follows.<br />

Formatting text in another language<br />

In the last section you learned how to set the default language that TextMaker is to<br />

use in the normal case for the spell checker, hyphenator and thesaurus.<br />

Beyond that, you can format any segments of text you like in another language –<br />

for example, if you want to use a Spanish language citation in a document that is<br />

for the most part in English.<br />

To do this, proceed as follows:<br />

1. Select the segment that contains foreign language text.<br />

2. Invoke the command Format > Character.<br />

3. Switch to the Font property sheet.<br />

4. Choose the desired language from the Language list.<br />

Now the spell checker, hyphenator and thesaurus know that this segment of text is<br />

in another language and they produce the appropriate results.<br />

The Language list contains two entries with special meaning:<br />

The language “Default”<br />

This is the default setting.<br />

Normally, all the documents you compose are formatted in the default language.<br />

As you have learned in the preceding section, the default language can<br />

be selected with Tools > Options.<br />

The language “No language”<br />

If you format a segment of text with “No language”, it will be ignored by the<br />

spell checker. In addition, no hyphenation will be applied.<br />
