How do I get rid of Asian Typography in Word?
Some time past my copy of Word decided it would add Asian Typography options
in Format/Paragraph and various Asian-related add-ons in the Tools/Options tabs, and now even my Normal Font shows up as (Asian) Times Roman... etc. How do I get rid of this stuff - I neither need, nor want it? |

Answer: How do I get rid of Asian Typography in Word?
Hey there! I can definitely help you with that. It sounds like your copy of Word has added some Asian typography options that you don't need or want. Here's how you can remove them:
This should remove the Asian typography options from your Format/Paragraph menu and any Asian-related add-ons from your Tools/Options tabs. Your Normal Font should also revert back to its original font. If you have any other questions or issues, feel free to ask! PHP Code:

How do I get rid of Asian Typography in Word?
Thanks for this. The KB article was very interesting, as the crop marks did,
indeed, turn up at the same time that all the Asian stuff turned up. I followed the instructions in the KB (and as noted by Tony in his post) and my Office Language list is just English UK (which I can't delete - it's greyed out) and English US. However, Word still has the crop marks at the corner of each page, and insists on keeping all the Asian notation, options, etc. Under Tools/Language, this 'feature' also added the Japanese Consistency Checker; under Tools/Options there are "Japanese Find" and "Asian Typography" options, as well as the points I noted below. Any other ideas on how to fix this (is it possible that the language selection under Start/Programs/Office/etc. isn't correctly kicking all the office apps to remove the Asian stuff?)

How do I get rid of Asian Typography in Word?
Thanks for your persistence. However, having done all below, rebooted the PC,
and subsequently also used the Add/Remove Program feature for Microsoft Word, to remove all International support (under Office Shared Features - I've X'd every one of the options from Armenian down to Simplified Chinese), I *still* have the corner cross hairs, Asian Typography, etc. I tried killing my normal.dot file to get that regenerated from defaults, but that made no difference. I'm sure that this should be simple - but is there some combination of Office XP / 2003 / Project / IE / etc. that means these sort of configuration items don't get propagated correctly?

How do I get rid of Asian Typography in Word?
Hi Suzanne,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - I've only just had a chance to go through various trials of this... 1. I have renamed Normal.dot to force Word to create a new one... it retains the Asian typography, etc. 2. I have opened Normal.dot, forced it to select English (UK) as the default language, stored it, but Word retains the Asian typography, etc. 3. As I have several user accounts on my machine, I have renamed every Normal.dot file on it... Word creates a new one in the place I expected (for 1 & 2 above) and retains the Asian typography. 4. I have ensured every Office application is closed, re-checked and re-applied the English (UK) language setting through Control Panel / Regional settings, through MS Office / Language selection app, then re-tried the Normal.dot stuff again... Still got Asian typography settings. I can open the latest created Normal.dot after all the above (in TextPad) and clearly see that "MS Mincho" is listed near the start of the file. Is there anything in the registry that might be magically retaining this Asian settings? Yours in despair... Andy "Suzanne S.

How do I get rid of Asian Typography in Word?
Hi Suzanne,
The only language enabled through Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings is English (UK). Same under Control Panel / Regional Settings. I've covered every setting mentioned in preceding posts and none of them make any difference. I wouldn't mind so much if it didn't swamp my style descriptions in Word with all the unnecessary "Asian font" stuff, but I think a full re-install is coming on, unless anyone out there has any idea how to fix this... A simple "Asian stuff on/off" button somewhere would be nice. Any feature in Word that adds 5+ menu items and config tabs and affects all styles, languages, etc. across Word really ought to be better controlled, in my opinion. Andy "Suzanne S.

How do I get rid of Asian Typography in Word?
You might try posting in the microsoft.public.word.international.features
NG. I doubt seriously that there is something screwy about your copy of Word, but I confess I can't find anything at all about disabling Asian typography in the KB (lots about how to use it). I tried searching Google Groups and found a reply from someone several years ago as follows: You can go to Office - Microsoft Office Tools - Microsoft Office Language Setting - Remove East Asian and Complex Script Languages. If Office Language Setting does not detect these international languages, it will not show those international font options. I can't find any indication that there is any other solution to this problem. Sorry. -- Suzanne S.

How do I get rid of Asian Typography in Word?
Hi Suzanne,
Great news! Looks like Microsoft Office finally woke up and realised I didn't want the Asian typography. I was editing a document today, suddenly noticed it wasn't showing me the Asian stuff when I modified a style... bingo, all the extra Asian options have gone. The only thing that I can think that's prompted Office to finally accept the settings correctly (not having changed anything else since yesterday) is that today I installed an update for Visio 2002, which included restarting the machine. I'm presuming the install and restart somehow cleared something in Office's settings. So, many thanks for your help - I'm back with nice plain English options now. :-) Andy "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You might try posting in the microsoft.public.word.international.features NG. I doubt seriously that there is something screwy about your copy of Word, but I confess I can't find anything at all about disabling Asian typography in the KB (lots about how to use it). I tried searching Google Groups and found a reply from someone several years ago as follows: You can go to Office - Microsoft Office Tools - Microsoft Office Language Setting - Remove East Asian and Complex Script Languages. If Office Language Setting does not detect these international languages, it will not show those international font options. I can't find any indication that there is any other solution to this problem. Sorry. -- Suzanne S.
