Sample Text Shows Up as Arabic
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. Fred |

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. "Idaho Word Man" wrote: I recently did some editing for a customer in Iran.

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.

Hi,
I'm having this same problem. Do you know the path to the MS Office 2003 language settings executable? The MS Office option has been removed from the program menu.

Hi Marie,
If the Start=Program=Microsoft Office=Microsoft Office tools choice isn't there the Office 2003 language settings tool program option may also not be installed. You can try using Start=Search to locate SetLang.exe There's also an implementation of the Desktop Language Settings tool available for download at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/do...773571033.aspx that can be useful. ============= "MarieJ" wrote in message news Hi, I'm having this same problem.
