SPAM random annoying things

[TdC]

you two are clearly hitting on each other. gonna scissor?

 

[Overdriven]

Want to go to the gym. Probably shouldn't. Argh. Feel horrid.

I'm turning into a 13 year old emo girl :|

Entropy and catabolism... After a week.. Obviously.

 

[Overdriven]

And I meant Atrophy. FFS.

 

[TdC]

OK @MYstIC G :

How do I -permanently- turn off automatic language detection in Word?
How do I -permanently- apply a given language to a document?
How do I -permanently- apply said language's spelling-checker to said document?
How do I -permanently- apply a given template to a document?

Because if I do any of those things, they seem to magically change or undo themselves, even when Word says it's saved my shit to the normal.dot.

Lazy bastard..

[TdC]

so, to change the way Word deals with the language I am typing in...I have to change the input language of Windows itself? oh, that's logical.


WAIT NO IT ISNT

 

[Ormorof]

Isnt the language used shown in bottom left corner?

Just click on it and change it

 

[dysfunction]

Yes do as @Ormorof says!

But you first have to add the languages you want to deal with in the Options-Language Settings

To Apply a Language to a specific text just select it and click the language used in bottom left corner.


Instructions to Apply a Template

Open the document you want to apply a template to. Click the "File" tab on the Office Ribbon and press the "Options" button.

Select the "Add-Ins" option from the navigation menu on the left side of the Options dialog.

Click on the "Manage" drop-down list and choose "Templates" from the list of options. Press the "Go" button to open the Templates and Add-Ins Window.

Press the "Attach" button to open the Template Attachment Dialog. Select the template you want to attach to your document and press "Open" to close the dialog window.

When prompted, select "Automatically Update Styles" to change the styles of your document to match the styles of your template. Click "Ok" to close the Options window.

 

[CorNokZ]

Alt then quickly shift afterwards changes the default language in windows. I currently have Danish, English and Spanish set as my language and it makes it really chanting between languages in word

 

[dysfunction]

Oh and @TdC there is a 5 year old in the UK that is a MS Word certified professional. So it's not that hard!

 

[Ormorof]

Are you as smart as a five year old?

Was t that a tv show once?

 

[Overdriven]

Yeah it was. No one is.

We all become jaded as we get older.

I know all the above. The *problem* is that Word keeps resetting what I apply:
when I tell Word that the language in a document is Dutch, to use that language's spell-checker and to NOT FUCKING AUTODETECT languages, and hit save, within a minute it's autodetecting the language and trying to "help" me.
when I tell Word to use a template or given Style, I only have to paste from another document (with the same style btw) once, and the style in the local document is fucked and I have to go through the whole apply style again.

Also, I know about language switching guys: I'm bilingual and use English and Dutch interchangeably. In my work OS and on my laptop I have this set up perfectly. I know how to do it. My issue is that Word keeps overruling what I am telling it, and that is doing my nut in. When I tell the program that a language in such and such a document is, for example, English, and that it is not to autodetect languages, then I only want to do that once and not every frigging time I type a non-English word

Prepare a document as you want it, save it as a template, use that for all subsequent documents. Top one is version dependent, which version.

 

[Ormorof]

Ah now i see

I had same problem with my thesis it kept switching between US english, UK english and finnish depending on which PC i had been using

CTRL A and change all language when done

That might cause some inconsistencies indeed.

been there, did that, didn't work. Office 2013 and 365.

yeah I have three places I work on documents: work lappy, private lappy and workstation. I'm using the workstation now, because I'm typing shitloads and it has a mechanical kbd. regardless of what I tell Word to do with languages, the instant I type a word in English it switches languages

 

[Fweddy]

Pick a language and stick to it tbh.

 

[CorNokZ]

Go for Swahili. They can't say you're wrong if they don't understand it

Automatic A+ 100% score

 

[TdC]

I wonder if I can edit your post to give it like....10000 rainbows

 

[TdC]

I'd love to. Writing an computer science related thesis in Dutch is silly: every third word is English anyway. That said, if it were 100% English I'd need to get fucking special fucking dispensation or some such nonsense. I did a project in English a year ago, and I had to suck a mile of lecturer peen to walk away from that with a passing grade :-/

In that case you should move to a civilised country

Being 200 words short on my final assignment of the year.

I really can't pad it out any more. Such a dreadful subject matter too. How changes in British culture can be seen in relationship to the seaside.

When I decided to do a history degree I wanted to be learning and writing about interested things

 

[TdC]

Write a short piece on how much you enjoy chasing down and raping seagulls.

Go through and find descriptive words you can split.

So? I was 5,000 words short on my final year project, still pulled a first out of the bag and saved my desmond. (Could be the 250 pages of graphs in four separate appendices made up for them, but I did worry about being down on word count by a third).

Don't fill. Tell 'em it's good and that if they get hung up on words as more than a guideline then they're being dicks

I got a desmond but was happy cause most of the three years i was intoxicated.

 

[Ormorof]

Im sure we have had this discussion before but who or what is desmond and why does he need saving?
