Asian fonts and menus added to Word

[Natalie]

The other day, while helping a friend with a work assignment on my PC, I cut
and pasted some text from a PowerPoint file into Word as a "thought-holder".
The PowerPoint document had originally been created in Japan and emailed to
him.

The next day when I opened Word (2003), my menus and dialog boxes were
changed. For example, in my Format menu, I now have a submenu titled, Asian
Layout. My Font dialog box includes Latin text fonts and Asian text fonts.
The Tools Language menu option includes Japanese translation and consistency
checker and the Options dialog box now has two new tabs: Asian Typogrophy and
Japanese Find.

The other thing that has changed is the inclusion of "typesetting marks" in
the uper and lower corners of my screen. These marks appear to identify the
page margins and move if I change the margins.

While it doesn't appear that my functionality is affected, I would still
like to have my system restored to the "non-Asian" dialog boxes and menus. At
the very least, I would like to remove these dratted margin marks.

Can anyone suggest something other than a reload of Word? I even tried
deleting the Normal.dot file hoping the changes would be lost that way, but
it did not work.

In the Edit tab of the Options dialog box I have IME TrueInline checked, but
the field is disabled - I can not uncheck the field or click the IME Settings
command option.

FYI: My friend's company still uses Microsoft Office 2000. It doesn't appear
that files sent from Japan affect the "American" PCs the same way as 2003.

Thank you for your help.

Remove Japanese (and any other Asian languages)

Hi, I had the same thing happen, and I did exactly what you said to remove
the language, and I still have all the asian text/layout etc. as well as the
margin marks. Any other suggestions?

Have you restarted Word? If so, please check the language settings again to
see if the changes have actually been applied. If you stil have the problem,
come back, and please say what version of Word you are using.

I have the same problem. Under Start/Programs/Microsoft Office Tools, my
only options are "Activate product" and "Microsoft Office Application
Recovery".

I am using Word 2002 under Vista Home Premium.

Are you displaying all entries on the Start menu or only the most recently
used ones?

 

[RonC]

Believe I'm showing all; no chevrons on menu, and nothing else opens up if I
hover for a while.

I am having the same problem with Office 2003 (and have had it for several
years--since working with someone with a Korean versian). I don't have any
Asian fonts in the language settings, and I can't find anywhere to remove the
Asian font menus/options. Any ideas on how to get rid of them? Thanks!
