Word font preview sample in Arabic script
In Microsof Word 2003 click on "Format" then "font." There is a preview of
the chosen font displayed in this drop down menu. In my computer this persists in being displayed in arabic script - whatever the font chosen in the upper part of the drop down menu. Yes I have typed in Arabic as well as English but not at the moment! "grammatim" wrote: On Jun 4, 5:31 am, RichardS wrote: Word font preview sample in Arabic script - how can I change it to English?

Word font preview sample in Arabic script
Just this morning, I noticed that a Style I use all the time had "Same
as Complex Font" in its upper Font window, with "Complex Font" named as Times New Roman. So strange things can indeed happen in font formatting. I find those font previews more annoying than helpful so I always just have them turned off. What happens if you do that? It's in Customize Toolbars (left-click on the right edge of a toolbar) Options Show font names in their font.

Word font preview sample in English and Arabic (complex script)
I'm getting both English and Arabic. If I choose Reveal Formatting, I see
Langauage: (Complex) Arabic Saudi Arabia, then English U.S. I'd like to remove all complex font options as I don't need any right-to-left fonts. I've tried removing languages through Start-Programs-Microsoft Office-Office Tools-Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings by removing all languages except English (US) from the list of enabled languages. I selected English (US) in the Choose a language option box. Under Available languages, it has (All scripts)---is this the problem? I've also tried removing any complex script options through control Panel-Regional and Language Options. Under the Settings tab, I made sure English (US) is the Default input language, and I made sure the only Installed service is for English (United States). Where Arabic (Saudi Arabia) had been an option, it's now gone. I rebooted. I had had both English (US) and Arabic (SA) showing up at the top of the list in Word when I selected Tools-Language-Set Language, but now it's just English (US) there, so I can tell my changes have had some effect. But I still see Complex Scripts options under Format-Fonts and also in Tools-Options. If I try to modify (and therefore reveal) the style in Styles and Formatting, I see the following below the box: Font: (Default) Times New Roman, 12 pt, English U.S., Complex Script Font: Times New Roman, 12 pt, (Complex) Arabic Saudi Arabia, Left-to-right, Left, Line spacing: single, Widow/Orphan control How can I remove those complex font options and get back to just English? Nothing against Arabic, it's just not necessary. I'm using Word 2003 with SP 3 on a Windows XP Pro platform (if I've said that right). -- --Joanne "RichardS" wrote: Word font preview sample in Arabic script - how can I change it to English? |
