I'm writing a paper in French and I'm trying to find a way to switch the dictionary from English to French. There was a way to do it in Appleworks (yeah, way back when!), but I just can't seem to find out how to do it (if you even can) in Pages. Does anyone know what to do?
Got a tip for us?

You can change the dictionary for any paragraph style in the More tab of the text inspector. To change the system-wide dictionary, go to System Preferences/International/Languages & use the Edit button to move the language you want to the top of the list. You may have to restart Pages &, possibly, log out & back in for it to take effect.

About British English Dictionary.
I have Pages 08 and the More Tab of the text Inspector offers British English, Australian English and Canadian English as well as plain English (the American version?). These are all present by default in my version.
