Choose a language

The display language is the language of JeffPub's own words: the ribbon, the dialog boxes, the messages, and Help. You can change it at any time.

Change the display language

1. Click File > Options.
2. On the General page, open the Display language list.
3. Pick a language. Use system language follows your computer.
4. Click OK. Then close JeffPub and open it again. A new language starts the next time you open JeffPub.

The choice belongs to all the JeffOffice apps. Change it in one, and it changes in each of them.

The display language does not change the language your text is checked in. See Spelling, thesaurus, research, and hyphenation.

English for your country

English is spelled a little differently from country to country. The list has four kinds of English.

• English is American English. It writes color, center, and gray.
• English (United Kingdom) writes colour, centre, and grey. It also writes organise and customise.
• English (Australia) is spelled the same way as English (United Kingdom).
• English (Canada) writes colour, centre, and grey, but keeps the -ize ending, as in organize.

The ribbon, the dialog boxes, and Help all change together. Anything that is not listed for your kind of English shows in American English, so no word is ever missing.

The first time you open JeffPub, it picks the English that matches your computer's country. New Zealand uses English (Australia). Ireland, India, South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malta use English (United Kingdom).

Paper and measurements

A new publication starts on Letter paper in the United States and Canada, and on A4 paper in most other places. You can pick another size at any time in Page setup. Rulers and page sizes show centimeters in most places, and inches in the United States. You can change the unit in your settings: see Change JeffPub's settings.
