Version of Office: 2003 Professional
The symptoms:
1. When previewing fonts and styles, two sets of fonts appear: a
western left-to-right font (like Times New Roman) and an Eastern
European right-to-left one along side it (I'm guessing on the "Eastern
Eurpoean", forgive my ignorance). This doesn't bother me much but I
believe it's related to the second problem...
2. When I left click in the document on the far right side of a line,
it selects the entire line. This is not the behaviour I'm used to and
it's annoying. I believe it has something to do with these lingering
right-to-left (Eastern European?) fonts.
What I've tried:
* Make sure that Ctrl Panel | Regional & Language | Languages tab |
Install files for complex script and right-to-left... is not checked
(it was never checked, to my knowledge).
* Make sure that, in the Details dialog of the same Languages tab,
only a US keyboard is installed (this was the case).
* Try turning off advanced text services (Advanced tab).
* Make sure that Word's Tools | Language | Set Language was defaulted
to English U.S. (this was the case).
* In Safe Mode, delete the Normal.dot file and launch Word to let it
get recreated, then boot in Normal mode
* Make sure that, in Start | MS Office Tools | MS Office XP Language
Settings, Enabled Languages had just English (U.S.) listed and
selected as the default.
* Repaired Office
* Uninstalled and reinstalled Office
* Turn on support for complex languages, just so that I could turn it
off again (thought that might trigger something).
~~~
The only thing I can think of that might have brought this annoying
setting on is that I remoted into my machine (Remote Desktop) from a
machine that had Hebrew installed. Could that have permanently
confused my system?
I've done everything short of individually downloading all 33 Office
updates and/or formatting C:. Before I do anything drastic, I'd sure
appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!
