Why can't I change language layout back to U.S. English?
Hello,
After my word document was reviewed by others, I'm not sure, but I think my default language layout was changed to a non-English language. If so, how do I change it back to English? Clues: Format Menu, I see 'Asian Layout' as a submenu. Formatreveal formattinglanguage layout lists 2 non-English languages and English. Formatreveal formattingfont: Lists 'times new roman' (default) and Asian (SimSun). Toolslanguage lists 'Japanese consistency checker' after 'set language'. Toolslanguageset language indicates that English, French and Spanish are checked. Maybe this means it's ok? however... When I click Toolslanguageset languagedefault, it asks "Do you want to change the default language to English U.S.? But when I click 'yes' and 'ok' none of the items above change (e.g. I would expect the 'Asian Layout' menu to disappear)and I'm asked again if I want to set the default to English U.S. I exited word and went back in and still have the same outcome. Has my default language layout changed? If so, I would be grateful for any help. I'm using Office XP Standard version 2002. -- Thanks for your time and assistance. |

Some of the Asian languages can be very tenacious, but start by selecting
the entire document, going to Tools | Language | Set Language and selecting the appropriate flavor of English. Changing the default language won't affect the language of existing text. -- Suzanne S.
