Thanks for your reply. As I mentioned before, this didn't work. Because since
I installed the Asian language package,in the Format | Font tab, there are 2
default language setting concurrently, one for Asian input and one for Latin
input. So when I clicm Default, it sets both default inputs. I can't specify
Latin one over the Asian one...

I'm using MS Word 2003 SP2. I installed Asian language package because
sometimes I need to open or write documents in Asian fonts. But mostly I
still write in English and I prefer the standard Times New Romans for Normal
template. However everytime I open a new document the font is always set to a
Chinese font (SumSun) and the input language as Chinese.

I tried to set the default font from the Tools menu, but there I have to
select both Asian and Latin default text font , and I can't specify Latin
over Asian font.

I have done all that I could: I set the default language to English (U.S.)
using Tools menu in MS Word, and set English as the default input language in
Control panelReginal and Language OptionsLanguageDetailsdefault input
language.

There's no such problem with MS Excel or PowerPoint, which I can easily
change the default font.

Any advice? Thanks in advance.
