Word 2003 - Unexpected Greek letters appear
I have an existing document. When I open it and attempt to modify it, the
characters that are inserted are Greek letters not English letters. I have tried a number of options but apparently have not hit on the right one. Thoughts? TIA |

Word 2003 - Unexpected Greek letters appear
Is the text at the insertion point formatted in the Greek language? Do you
have the automatically detect language setting checked in Tools Language? Office 2007 additionally adds a function to automatically switch the keyboard to the language of the surrounding text. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Gus Gustafson wrote: I have an existing document.

Did the font get changed to Symbol at that point?

It appears to require that the relevant keyboard is pre-installed, but having Word switch anything automatically is not a route I particularly want to go down. I prefer to click the keyboard selector on the language toolbar or activate the keyboard shortcut. As I live in a Greek speaking country I have the Greek and UK keyboards installed and the function switches between them according to the language of the text. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |

Word 2003 - Unexpected Greek letters appear
Thank you. Sorry I'm so late in replying. I couldn't find the thread.
Turns out that the characters following a bullet were displayed as English but when a change was made they becamew Greek letters. "grammatim" wrote: Did the font get changed to Symbol at that point?
