Default Sample Text Shows Up as Arabic

Thanks. I'll try that when I get home tonight.

How do I reach the MS Office Tools? I don't see it as a menu item or on the
toolbars in Word. Is it in one of my control panels? That must not be a
toolbar I have used before.

Thanks again.

you might need to disable Arabic : go to MSoffice\Ms office tools\Ms offcie
2003 language settings and if Arabic is in enabled languages list remove it.

I recently did some editing for a customer in Iran. The Word document he
sent me was in English, and the language was selected as English -- US.
However, when I open certain windows -- such as the Format - Font window --
the sample text shows up as Arabic or something similar. I have finished his
job and sent it back, but now every document shows the same goofy sample
text. Everything else works OK except sample text.

I'm running Windows XP Professional (SP2) and Office 2003.

Thanks for your help.
