setting font defaults
Hi,
I work with documents that are mostly written in English but include some Chinese characters as well. The English font I like is MS Reference Serif and the Chinese font I like is Simsun. Now, the MS serif font seems to be the default because all new documents I open are set to MS serif. I seem to recall having Simsun as my default Chinese font whenever I copy-and-pasted some Chinese characters in the document they would appear in Simsun font. But now something has changed and different Chinese fonts (e.g., MS Mincho, PMing LiU) are the fonts used when I paste some characters into the document. Can anyone tell me why? Can anyone tell me how to set the defaults for both English and Chinese fonts? I'm using Microsoft Word 2002 SP3 that came with Microsoft Works Suite 2006. thanks in advance, Bao Pu |

setting font defaults
I answered an almost identically worded question a few days ago -- was
that yours? The Format Style: Font window has an area for "complex script" where you set that default (assuming that Chinese or Japanese or Arabic or etc. has been installed in your computer).

Yes, that was my post. Your answer didn't help, unfortunately. I click FORMAT, then STYLES AND FORMATTING... and then a panel appears on the right. If I click on "New Style" I can get to fonts, but nothing like what you mention appears. We must have different versions. |

Hi Bao Pu,
Assuming that in the Windows Control Panel, Regional and Language Settings your system is already enabled for Chinese, then in Start=Programs=Microsoft Office=Microsoft Office Tools see if any of the Chinese (or other language choices) is included (shutdown all Office apps before doing so). After adding the language restart Word and check the Font dialog again to see if you have additional choices. For the fonts, if you do not see those particular fonts listed in the Font applet in the Windows control panel you may be able to install them from the shared features choice for Microsoft Word 2002 in the Windows control panel. ============ "Bao Pu" wrote in message ...

Bob *Buckland *?:-) MS Office System Products MVP * *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* Thanks Bob, I've got my font dialog to show "Asian Fonts" now. I went to control panel regional and language settings keyboards and languages and then clicked "change keyboards." I then added Chinese. That's it. So I opened a new document, and opened the font dialog and set both English and Asain fonts and hit "default." Thanks :-) |
