Assigning a Language

Mike's office, where he does most of his work, currently has about a dozen dictionaries on the shelf. He rarely needs them any longer. (Mostly, he now pulls them out to settle arcane language arguments over the dinner table.) That's because InCopy CS2 comes with 35 different dictionaries, encompassing multiple languages and including a USA Medical dictionary and a USA Legal dictionary.

Open the Character Palette (Window > Type & Tables > Character) and at the bottom of the palette you'll find a pull-down menu listing the dictionary you're currently using (Figure 4.1). If you don't see it, click on the palette menu and choose Customize (Figure 4.2). At the bottom of the list of Customize Character Controls, you'll find an option called Language (Figure 4.3). Put a check mark in the box next to Language to enable the Language pull-down at the bottom of the Character palette. Click OK and you're all set.

Using Spell Check," later in this chapter), repeated words, capitalization, and hyphenation. For most readers of this book, that will be English, but InCopy CS2 comes with five flavors of English dictionaries, including USA Legal and USA Medical, so there is a decent chance that you might need to invoke something other than English: USA. That doesn't mean you're stuck in one particular language, though. As you work, you can change languages by changing the language in the pull-down menu before typing a word or phrase in the new language, or you can highlight any words you like and change the language pull-down at that point. The result will be that InCopy, when spell checking, will read your language assignment and check the appropriate dictionary.
