Change the document's language to French when iWork and Mac OS are both EN

How can I do that?
It's driving me mad, Keynote is underlining every single word of French I type because it is looking them up in the English dictionary.
In Pages, I can do this manually when needed (although it's a major pain and has to be redone for every textbox and every paragraph) but in Keynote, I can't see where.
Switching between languages for the spell checker is something Apple definitely needs to work on because right now it is a disaster of user friendliness. It may even be the only domain where MS Office does much better.
Thanks for your help!

in Keynote, I can't see where.

  • How do I change the start up language from French to English??

    How do I change the start up language on a new Apple TV2?

    My problem was everything was in French and I don't speak/read French so I couldn't even get the country setting or internet password to work.  A very helpful technician called me and walked me thru it and now it seems to be working.  Thank you.

  • Changing the Document Mode to IE9

    I exported my Captivate project for HTML5, and the project works on my MAC and PC, but when testing it on another co-workers computer using IE9, she was unable to play the project, index.html. When she opened index.html, this is the response she received in her browser,
    "The content you are trying to view is not supported in the current Document Mode of Internet Explorer. Change the Document Mode to Internet Explorer 9 Standards and try to view the content again.
    To change the Document Mode, press F12, click Document Mode: , and then select Internet Explorer 9 Standards."
    Is this something I can change in the CSS document within the project folder?
    Any advise would be helpful.

    IE9 is not all that HTML5 ready.  I would recommend you output for both HTML5 and HTM/SWF when you publish.  If you do, you should see a file called Multiscreen.html.  Ask your coworker to try that file instead.

  • Dynamically change the document when the user opens it through a PDF Portfolio

    Hello
    I'm generating a PDF Portfolio using LiveCycle PDF Generator. I need to dynamically change the document that is presented when the user opens a PDF portfolio.
    Can anyone give ideas on how to accomplish this using the portfolio and navigator API?
    Thank you

    That was it. What an operating system. It is very helpful to view files you are looking for. But if you have preview on you cannot save files.

  • How to change the spelling correction language in Mail

    Hey!
    Often I have to write emails in different languages and I'm looking for a solution to change the spelling language by a click. My plan was to record the procedure of changing the language and then to add for every language one button to the mail tool bar. First I tried to record an AppleScript in Mail. Didn't work at all (actually the only app I found which records scripts is Finder). Then I recorded a similar task in Finder which works fine and tried to adopt it to Mail. It didn't work out. Has someone an idea how I can solve that problem.
    My simple training script what I tried to adopt for Mail (i just tried to change something in the Mail preferences, not the language):
    tell application "Finder" <--- replaced all "Finder" with "Mail"
    activate
    select Finder window 1
    open window of Finder preferences
    set folders open in new windows of Finder preferences to true
    close window of Finder preferences
    end tell
    Thanks

    Hi
    It's not that easy! Apart from the fact that Mail doesn't work the same way as Finder, it also doesn't have its own spell checker: it uses the system-wide AppleSpell service.
    The pane you see when you manually change the preferred spelling language in Mail (or TextEdit, or Safari) doesn't belong to Mail at all, and isn't directly accessible by AppleScript because AppleSpell is an invisible and unscriptable process.
    See this closed Apple Discussions thread for a brief indication of how you can change the preferred language using a shell script.
    And see this macoshints thread for an indication of the complexity of the issue.
    You need to know the "code" for each language used in the preferences file: "en_GB" for British English, "fr" for French etc etc. You would then need to wrap each shell script in an AppleScript "do shell script" command like this:
    do shell script "defaults write 'Apple Global Domain' 'NSPreferredSpellServerLanguage' \"fr\""
    to change the language to French.
    Unfortunately, I think you would also need to quit Mail and relaunch it before the change will take effect.

    Hi
    In iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x)
    on top menu row - Apple/iMovie/File/Edit/Cut (Can vary dep. on language - in Swedish Apple/iMovie/Arkiv/Redigera/Klipp . . . )
    down Cut menu - Slow playback/Raspid Playback/Re-play in Slow Motion and onvards
    Here one can select the Pre-Set speeds
    Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
    No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

  • How do I change the document name on my iPad after editing it?

    I have forms to fill multiple time for different projects!  On the iPad, I can not tell if they are different because I can't see the changes when saved to iBook or emailed. Do I have to wait until I'm at me PC, if yes the iPad and your app are useless!

    You can change the document name before editing it, using the Duplicate feature.  You can do this in the File Manager by going into ‘Edit’ mode, selecting the file, and choosing Duplicate option.
    Adobe Reader currently does not support saving a copy of a file after changes are made to it (and not yet saved in the original).  This is a feature we would consider for a future update.
    Thanks for your feedback.

  • How do you change the Spell Check language

    I have a question, how do you change the spell check language so that it spell checks in a different language... such as French?

    Here is a copy of an e-mail that I sent to Yvan asking about this (translated from French):
    +Hello Yvan,+
    +I saw your answer SirCram's message (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7526551&#7526551) in which you showed a dialogue box called "text"+

  • Can anyone tell me why a picture would change color when I try to download/upload it?  It is the exact same picture- chosen the same way and when it goes to any other program it changes the color (I've tried canvas on demand and mpixpro.  I've also tried

    Can anyone tell me why this picture changes color when I try to download/upload it?  It is the exact same picture I have taken from the same location.  The image on the left is via preview and the image on the right is what is shows like when I try to download it.  I have emailed it to myself and it shows fine on the computer and in CS4, but when I look at the download via my phone or on another computer it shows the wonky color on the right.  I have checked the color space shows RGB/8 bit.  Any ideas why or how to fix it?  It isn't with any one specific session.... and I've tried it on both my desktop and my laptop- saved image to an external hard drive and to drop box.  I've tried sending the image to canvas on demand, my email, mpxipro, POST editing- all the same result.  Please HELP!!  What am I doing wrong?

    Most of the time you see something like that. The image in question has a color profile other then sRGB. Some image viewers/displayers are color managed and others are not.  So the image do not look the same in all of the applications you use. So colors seem to change.
    Try converting it to sRGB color and see if then looks the same all around. Also I think PC and Mac displays are set to different gamma something like 1.8 and 2.2
    Though I'm colorblind I even see color variations.

  • I see there is no way to change the security questions i set up when I first purchased my ipod touch. Software takes you in circles with no help

    I see there is no way to change the security questions i set up when I first purchased my ipod touch. All the answers I get do not work. Can't by another device until I get around this issue.

    Reset Security Questions
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Manage My Apple ID
    Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
    If all else fails:
      1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
      2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
      3. Then choose iTunes Store;
      4. Then choose Account Management;
      5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
          Continue;
      6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
      7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
          like your security/challenge questions reset;
      8. Click Send/Continue.
    You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
    In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

  • How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

    How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

    Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
    The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look.  But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

  • I have changed the email signature on my iPhone, when composing a new email the signature is there, however when I am replying to an email it is not, how can I make sure that the signature is at the end of every email I send?

    I have changed the email signature on my iPhone, when composing a new email the signature is there, however when I am replying to an email it is not, how can I make sure that the signature is at the end of every email I send?

    Yes I know what you mean about it cluttering the thread and for personal emails it is better without the signature. However this relates to sending business emails from an iPhone so I need the signature present on every email.
    I can't find anything in Settings so I was hoping someone may have some knowledge/information/experience regarding this problem.
