Frederick,
(Please bottom-post when using the lists.) I don't use multiple
languages myself, so I can only speculate. The first thing I would try
would be to select all the text (ctrl-A with the CUI key bindings) and
then click the text style tool bar button and change the "Language:"
field to either the language I wanted or "Reset".
Cheers,
Paul

You seem to have a mix of "English" and "English (UK)" (or
"British") in the tables, and switching to British
triggers the error message. The version I've attached, in
which I switched it all to "English (UK)" (which matches
the document language setting), compiles for me. I don't
know why the language switching runs afoul of paragraph
breaks inside table cells.<br>
