How to set default fonts?
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? thanks in advance, Bao Pu |

How to set default fonts?
If you're in Word2003, then when you Modify a style (Styles &
Formatting, right-click on style name), under Format Font the upper section tells it the roman font for that style, the lower section the "complex scripts" font. Do this in the Normal style (or whichever is your basic style), be sure the change is saved to the normal.dot template, and you should be ok.

I forgot to mention that I am using Word 2002 SP3, which came with Works Suite 2006. I can't find the words "complex scripts" anywhere. |

How to set default fonts?
It showed up (in Word2003) after I enabled the Arabic and Chinese IMEs
in Windows -- since you can already type in Chinese, I assume you've already done that. Why don't you add Arabic and see if that makes a difference? And then remove it, and see if that unmakes it?
