Changing Text to a Language

If your text is written in more than one language, you can designate the language of selected text so spell check uses the right dictionary. For international Microsoft Office users, you can change the language that appears on their screens by enabling different languages. Users around the world can enter, display, and edit text in all supported languages. You'll be able to use PowerPoint in your native language.

There is a Multilingual AutoCorrect. Office supports an AutoCorrect list for each language. For example, the English AutoCorrect list capitalizes all cases of the single letter "i;" in Swedish however, "i" is a preposition and is not capitalized.
