Hi Edward,

Can VBA distinguish between English and Japanese or Chinese letters in a
mixed PP?

What's a "PP"?

I think this will depend on whether this is a single font, and the
characters are being provided by different Unicode character values, or
whether it's due to a change in font.

In both cases, you should be able to distinguish, but the way to go about
doing so would differ.

It seems very, very likely that the text is Unicode, so you could check
whether the (majority of the) characters of the paragraph are in the
Latin,Hiragana, Katagana, CJK ... code pages (using AscW).

Even simpler, if the language property is already properly applied you can
check Selection.LanguageID ...
