  If you're automating Word and checking text in Word, then the text you're checking has to be formatted with that language AND the required proofing tools must be installed. If you use the Document object or Range, this is what's going to happen.

  If you're wanting to simply check any string, then you have to use the Application object. Again, the necessary proofing tools must be installed on the system. Unfortunately, CheckSpelling does not work as advertised. But a few years ago, someone figured out how to coerce GetSpellingSuggestions to do the job. For example (in VB-speak):

  Sub CheckWithFrenchDic()
  Dim dic As String
  Dim s As String
  Dim sugList As SpellingSuggestions
  
  dic = Languages(wdFrench).NameLocal
  s = "deuxieme"
  Set sugList = GetSpellingSuggestions(Word:=s, CustomDictionary:="Custom.dic", MainDictionary:=dic)
  If sugList.Count = 0 Then
  MsgBox "Word is correctly spelled"
  Else
  MsgBox "Word is incorrectly spelled"
  'And you can do a foreach to get the individual suggestions
  End If
  End Sub
  

  Yeah, it's definitely weird. But it works...

  I've finally found a way
  
  _Document.Content.LanguageID = WdLanguageID.wdFrenchCanadian
  
  Thanks all for your answers

  it is office tool related.
  
  I'm using word interop library to do spellcheck programmatically.
  
  _Document.CheckSpelling(...);
  
  and was wondering how i can set the spell checker to check the spelling in another language.
  
  I'm sorry if i was unclear.
  
  Thanks
