Font Dialog Box changed

[Justme]

I am using MS Office XP and up until now everything was fine. Today i tried
to change the Font (that i've done a million times) in the Font Dialog Box
(Format Menu, Font) but when i opened the dialog box it looked different than
before. Had more options than normally, and the preview for the font no
longer shows my highlighted text, only the "Sample" so i can't see what MY
text would look after the font change. It makes searching for a specific font
very difficult.
Plus i found some new things in the same dialog box that haven't been there
before, like:
"Asian Text Font" and "Complex Scripts"
The only thing that have changed on my computer is that i had to install
Office 2007 Outlook to be able to sync with my PDA... beside that everything
is the same.

Anyone has any idea what could have happened and mostly how can i fix it?

I have tried uninstall and re-install MS Office XP but it didn't help.

You have somehow gotten one or more Asian languages enabled in Word. That could
be simply because you opened a document that contains those languages... or it
could be damage to a registry entry.

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=839371, which is mostly about a different
symptom but describes how to remove the unwanted languages.

And, as has been said a thousand times in these newsgroups, uninstalling and
reinstalling Word or Office almost never helps with any problem, because it
doesn't remove the places where most problems occur.

OMG!!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!! I have tried to remove the languages
that were installed but i guess that wasn't enough. Removing them from the MS
Office Tools/Language Settings totally worked!!!!!

You definitely made my day!!! THANK YOU!!!
