Font Dialog Box troubles

J

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.

Here are some pictures of what it should look like and what mine does:
(Not sure which link will work so i'll try two different types)

If you run the Office XP language settings, you will find that Asian
Language and left to right text has somehow been turned on. Just turn them
off again and also deselect all the languages that may have been added other
than your default language (or any other that you may use).

But please note that Outlook 2007 will not work with any version of Office
other than Office 2007. You also cannot have more than one version of
Outlook installed. You will have lost any interaction between Outlook and
Office.

What sort of PDA only synchronises with OL2007 and not previous versions?
