Farsi typing trouble
Since I installed Vista and Office/Word2007 on my PC a couple of months ago,
I have been unable to type Farsi in Word. I never had any trouble with this in XP. I have, of course, installed Farsi in the language settings (input) and I also have a large selection of Farsi fonts, which all display once Word is opened. However, it does not matter which font I choose from the menu, it just won't type! I can type Farsi in Wordpad, but not in Word (so it seems that it is not the Vista settings, but some Office fault?). Word opens/displays/reads docs in Farsi without any problems and shows the font correctly, but e.g. editing these in Farsi is impossible. |

Farsi typing trouble
What does "won't type" mean? You press a key and nothing at all
happens? Are you somehow opening your documents in a locked or protected mode?

Farsi typing trouble
Hi Grammatim,
Yes, exactly! I press the keys and nothing happens (tried both directions, l-r and r-l)! I have no trouble typing in other languages and it is also possible to insert Farsi letters by InsertSymbol but this is of course not a viable alternative for typing texts! I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Persian in Windows Vista as well as in the Office2007 Language Settings and it didn't help a bit. Have any ideas??? Thanks a lot...

Farsi typing trouble
I've never had a problem with any of my language-keyboards, but I've
also never had 2007. What if you use the On-Screen Keyboard? (In Vista: Start All Programs Accessories Accessibility On-Screen Keyboard) Open it up (your default layout will be showing), then click in a document and change to the Farsi keyboard, then move your cursor over the OSK and it magically turns into the Farsi diagram, and you can type by clicking on the keys. (Or you can set it to "Hover" -- I like "Hover 0.50 sec.") Does it work now? On Jun 22, 1:40*pm, Eva wrote: Hi Grammatim, Yes, exactly!

Farsi typing trouble
Hi Grammatim,
Thanks for your reply again. I tried the OSK and it didn't work out. No letters were typed in the doc. But, even if it did work out, it wouldn't solve my problem since I need to be able to use my normal keyboard. I use Persian/Farsi in Word for writing long texts (my thesis is several hundred pages) and not just a few words here and there, and I can't do that by using a mouse and an OSK.... I need to find another way. Please give me any other ideas you might have, otherwise perhaps I shall have to reinstall the whole Office??? What do you think?

Farsi typing trouble
I have no idea what the problem might be. Using the OSK was a means to
test whether it's a hardware problem. On Jun 23, 12:39*am, Eva wrote: Hi Grammatim, Thanks for your reply again. I tried the OSK and it didn't work out. No letters were typed in the doc.

Have you tried the other Arabic scripts? If Urdu, for instance, works,
you can type Persian with that keyboard. On Oct 4, 11:31 am, Reza wrote: Hi, i have this problem too and i get bored for any helpfull way. i could to type farsi/persian in any application except word. please offer me another try. |

Farsi typing trouble
Ah ... you are the same person. Let's hope an MVP has some
suggestions. Meanwhile, you could try closing Word, deleting the Arabic/Persian/ Urdu keyboards in Windows (in Vista; in XP ,delete the languages), and Restarting the computer; and then install Persian again. Maybe that would fix it.
