I went to Outlook and tried Tools Options but found nothing that would
let
me remove the Japanese option. I also tried doing this in Word, but still
couldn't find it. Could you give more details on where to go and what tab
to
choose when I get there? Thanks!

You can deal with the encoding issue through Tools Options, but that
won't
do anything about the spam except make it unreadable. My guess is that
the
'instructions' you followed to enable the Japanese characters were
actually
putting you on one or more Japanese spam lists. Sadly, there's no way to
put
the toothpaste back into the tube other than discarding your email
address.

I recently go an email from Japan. On the screen were instructions on
how
to
enable me to get Japanese characters in Outlook (or Office). I
followed
them, and was able to get the email. But now I get constant spam in
Japanese. I don't get much spam otherwise, just all this Japanese
spam
that
started when I enabled Japanese. I can't figure out how to disable
Japanese.
I don't want it anymore! Thanks!
