Default Problems with Word 2003 after intalling Win XP

It's probably because when you switch, the Language AutoDetection won't work
out the language until it has seen sufficient input to determine this. A
guess is that Arabic is first in the list so it defaults to it until it
knows.

Thank you. That took care of the ruler.

WRT the language. Although it shows Arabic when I shift to TNR
from the Japanese font, I discovered that it switches to English as
soon as I start to type so it is does not appear to be a problem.
However, it is strange behavior.
