DocLangID Cell (Document Properties Section)

Indicates the default language for the document.

Remarks

The document language is based on the language defined in the Microsoft Office Language Preferences dialog box. (Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Office, click Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office Language Preferences.)

If you want to change the language for a document, instead of editing this cell directly it is best to change this value in the Properties dialog box (click the File tab, click Info, click Properties, and then click Advanced Properties) or programmatically, by using the Language property of the Document object.
