Word language change
I have been given a Word document that i viewed on a friend's computer (Word
2003, Windows XP SP2). All was fine. I copied to my flash drive and opened up on my home computer (Word 2007, Windows Vista business). The language had changed from English to Greek. I assumed it was a Vista/2007 problem, but opening it on my work station (XP/ 2003) gave the same result. What is happening and how can I fix?? |

Any chance the issue is that the document is using a font that you don't
have installed on your home or work stations? -- -Ben- Ben M. Schorr, MVP Roland Schorr & Tower http://www.rolandschorr.com http://www.officeforlawyers.com/word.htm "mjk" wrote in message ...

That is certainly a possibility - she was using a font that I am not familiar
with (forget what it was). So if I change font to say Arial that will solve problem? "Ben M.

To answer myself changing font to Arial did not work - just got a series of
squares. I imagine that I have to go to her computer, change the font there and resave...is that right or is there a simpler way?
