Typing language automatically changing from Hebrew to English

Question

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue where my typing language changes automatically from Hebrew to English and vice versa, especially when I delete words in a certain language. I disabled the "detect language automatically" option in the set proofing language settings, but the issue persists. Can anyone suggest a solution or workaround?

Thank you.

Turning off the "Detect language automatically" option should help with future text that you add. However, for any existing document, you will have to select all and then re-apply the correct language using the Language dialog box. In Word for Windows, first select all with Ctrl+A. Then click Review tab > Language group > Language > Set Proofing Language. If the dialog box includes radio buttons for "Selected Text" and "Current Document," pick the former option. Choose the appropriate language. Click OK to confirm.
