I recently had to change my Windows XP "Settings/Control
Panel/Regional and Language Options/Advanced/Language for
non-Unicode programs" to "Chinese (PRC)" in order to view
Chinese characters in a translation software package.
Just to be clear - my Windows system is still in English -
this setting just allows my Chinese software characters
to also show up.
Strangely, after the above change, the form layout in
Outlook 2003 changed. Most significantly, the "Full
Name" button is no longer available on the main page,
which makes editing of names difficult (ironically, this
is even more required with Chinese names).
If I switch the non-Unicode language settings back to US
English, the form returns to the standard format, but of
course this is not an option since it also means that all
the menus and dialogs of the Chinese software are now
just "?????".
Does anyone know why the form switch happens? More
importantly, is there any way to force Outlook to just
keep using the standard Contact form layout even with the
different language settings?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
