getting rid of Asian/Unicode fonts
This is completely new to me.
When I hold the mouse at the right side of the text, I dont see the cursor in form of a |, allowing me to put the cursor at the end of a line, but as an arrow, selecting, when I click, the whole line. I would Word to behave as it did before, but have not a clue how to do it. It probably has something to do with Asian/Unicode fonts, but I dont know anything about that, so it might not. Interestingly enough, this behaviour doesnt always occur - in my current text I have one headline that behaves like older Word versions did - but it is the only one. The format painter does not copy this behaviour to any other text. Any ideas? |

Possibly because you have enabled support for right-to-left languages (e.g.,
Asian, Latin, Arabic). To remove enabled languages, click on Start | Programs | Microsoft Office Tools | Microsoft Office Language Settings | Enabled Languages tab. In the list of Enabled Languages, click on the languages you don't want, and delete them. "nico" wrote: This is completely new to me.

yes, this seems to be the case. Since this is a university computer, though,
I don't have access to Microsoft Language Settings. Is there any other way around it?

Not sure if it will work, but try opening your Word document, press
Ctrl+A to select all of the text, click on Tools | Language | Set Language | Mark selected text as: choose your language | uncheck the "Detect language automatically" box | Default | OK. nico wrote: yes, this seems to be the case.
