I also believe you can change the default keyboard language immediately b4 u start editing a document,( of corse depending on which vs of windows u r running!) when u open the doc and select the default language in tools Options Unicode or there should b a spot to define the language u want to work with. There is also a free conversion program to write ur entire doc in English & convert it after. I believe it's a free ad on. Good luck Jessica
