Might be an unusual question but I am trying find out if there is a way to globally change the language from English to Spanish. I can highlight a section and change it and I have tried to selecting the whole document and clicking on SPanish but it does not change everything. I still have tables that are not changed. Also, to change table language I have to select the text in a cell and change it. I can’t select the table and click on Spanish. I hope I have explained what I am trying to do. Thanks.

Thank you. That is easier than what I have been doing. I have a manual that I wrote that is 228 pages. I am having it translated into Spanish and the translator is sending me chapters that he converted from PDF files. So when I get the chapter file it is in a Word file but not formatted like the original. I copy and paste the text and retype Tables and redo artwork. When I paste in InDesign I just copy a page and highlight the English page and paste. That way the graphics don’t have to be moved much. But the language is English and I need to make it Spanish. The Tables are the biggest problem because you cannot highlight a whole table and click on Spanish. You have to highlight each text in each cell and click on Spanish. Sorry to be so long but I wanted to make sure you understand what I am doing. I was hoping that there was some way to change the whole chapter file to Spanish.
