Can not change proofing language!

Hello

I'm facing an issue with the Office Preview. I have downloaded and installed the Danish proffing tools, but when I try to change the proofing language in Word it won't work. It stays at English.

I have to mark some text to be able to change the language. But even if I do this, it won't change for the entire document.

What can I do?

Okay, I think I finally figured it out on my own.

I had to go to Control Panel and Danish there also.

This is how I did:

Step 1: Go to Control Panel

Step 2: If shown by category press Clock, Language and Region (if shown by icons press Language - if shown by icon process to Step 4)

Step 3: Under Language press Add a language

Step 4: Press Add a language in the bar and choose the language - in my case Danish

Step 5: Change the keyboard language to preferred language. I had to change it to Danish - Danish keyboard, where it was before English (United kingdom) - Danish keyboard

Btw. this also helped me in other apps, such as the 'Mail'-app where I couldn't change proofing language.

I hope Microsoft will look into this, at it seems a a bug I have to change computer language to be able to write in Danish.

I hope this could help someone else!

EDIT: I don't know how I can mark my own answer as the answer of this topic, but feel free to close it! I don't want to mark one of yours as the answer, as this didn't help!
