This is in fact a feature. Word has a “detect language automatically” option in the language box. Just uncheck that. Word is unlikely to detect Latin as a language (not many people walk around speaking Latin these days, eh?) so it does a best-effort attempt and guesses Czech as the paragraph langauge. Just uncheck the auto detect option and you’re fine.

I’m afraid we can’t offer much help with that! It sounds like a bug, so maybe Microsoft tech support? We hope you can find a solution either way.

Is there a single feature designed by Micro$*** that works properly?
