Ampler sets the proofing language across the whole document at once, so spell-check and hyphenation use the right language throughout — not a mix from pasted-in text.
Quick answer: Click Language on the Ampler ribbon and select a language from the dropdown to apply it to the whole document; use Manage languages to curate the list.
How to use it
Pick a language to apply it across the document.
- Click Language on the Ampler ribbon and select a language from the dropdown.
- Click Manage languages to control which languages appear.
- Double-click or drag languages to add or remove them from the list.
Setting the language document-wide keeps proofing and hyphenation consistent from the first page to the last.
Keyboard shortcut
Language has no default shortcut. To assign one, open the Settings dropdown on the Ampler ribbon, choose Shortcuts, click Set shortcut on the function, and press your key combination.
Why use it
Word sets the proofing language per text run, so a document built from mixed sources ends up flagging good text and missing real errors. Setting the language across the whole document in one step makes spell-check reliable.
How consultants use it
Firms deliver in the client’s language and work across several, so proofing has to be set correctly and consistently. Three habits apply:
- One proofing language per document: every text field is set the same, so spell-check is trustworthy.
- Deliver in the client’s language: the whole document is switched in one step for the audience.
- A curated language list: the languages the team uses are kept ready.
Setting the language document-wide makes proofing consistent and correct.
Tips & best practices
- Set the language after pasting text from mixed sources.
- Curate the dropdown with Manage languages.
- Set it before a final proofing pass so spell-check is reliable.
