Is there a way to change language for all text boxes in a Publisher 2013 document at once? I have an existing file with a bunch of text boxes set to a wrong language, which is screwing up spell checking and hyphenation. I also don't know, but I don't even know how to do it for a single text box.

So, what I do know is how to change language for a single text box, i.e.: • Click on a single text box, • Select all text using Ctrl+A, • Review -> Language -> Set proofing language. But since it's a large document, it's rather cumbersome, and a bit strange that it's not possible to at least select all boxes on a single page and change their properties. For example, if I select two or more text boxes, I am also unable to change their Font type or size, which is also something that is pretty easy to do in, say, Visio or Word.

Is there a way to do change properties of multiple Publisher elements at once? @Ramhound: I am asking how to change language for all text boxes. Doing it manually works correctly as I've described above, but involves going through all text boxes, one by one, which I'd like to avoid. Opencv basic tutorial.

So, I think it's obvious I have Publisher installed (just in case you were wondering) and I have appropriate language packs installed (to answer your rather irrelevant comment). Download silverlight for mac for chrome. Also, all Office apps all share the same language packs (at least in Office 2013), so there is no such thing as 'language packs for Publisher'.

– Sep 23 '13 at 12:57 •. Old question, but still relevant. As far as I have been able to work out this is not possible.

As far as I can tell there are three independent language settings for Microsoft Publisher: -The 'Editing Language' (Options - Language - Choose Editing Languages) -The language for each text box (Select the text box - Review - Language - Set Proofing Language) -Some internal setting that determines the default proofing language for a text box. In my tests this is not impacted by changing the Editing Language. I have found no way to change it thus far.

Ultimately I have only been able to change language settings individually for each text-box. The 'Editing Language' in the main options menu seems to have no impact on any files (old or new). As far as I can tell the only bit it does is confirm that the user has paid for the language packs.

Tips • You can add exceptions to the AutoCorrect options you've selected. On the AutoCorrect Options screen, click 'Exceptions.'

Click 'First Letter' or 'INitial CAps.' Type a word that you want to exclude from AutoCorrect, and then click 'Add.' For example, if you never want to capitalize a certain word, go to the First Letter tab, enter the word and click 'Add.' • On the Exceptions tab, enable 'Automatically Add Words to List.'

If AutoCorrect fixes a word that you don't want to change, press 'Ctrl-Z.' This will undo the change and add that word to your exceptions list. AutoCorrect will not fix this word if you type it again.
