Bookmark.LanguageID Property

Definition

Gets or sets the language for the Bookmark control.

C#
public Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdLanguageID LanguageID { get; set; }

Property Value

One of the WdLanguageID values.

Examples

The following code example adds a Bookmark control to the document and then applies formatting to the bookmark based on the LanguageID of the text within the bookmark.

This example is for a document-level customization.

C#
private void BookmarkBiDi()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark bookmark1 =
        this.Controls.AddBookmark(this.Paragraphs[1].Range,
        "bookmark1");
    
    int WordTrue = 1;
    if (bookmark1.LanguageID == Word.WdLanguageID.wdArabic || 
        bookmark1.LanguageID == Word.WdLanguageID.wdHebrew)
    {
        bookmark1.BoldBi = WordTrue;
        bookmark1.ItalicBi = WordTrue;
    }
    else
    {
        bookmark1.Bold = WordTrue;
        bookmark1.Italic = WordTrue;
    }
}

Remarks

For a custom dictionary, you must first set the LanguageSpecific property to true before specifying the LanguageID property. Custom dictionaries that are language specific only look at text formatted for that language.
