Outlook 2003 & Windows XP SP2

[Mark Vent]

Hi,

We are running Office 2003 on XP SP2 and have noticed the following problem
(which may be due to a setting but I can't find anything relating to it ...)

When creating a new mail in Outlook if we type the word "outlock" and
autoconvert it to "outlook" or set up a "rule" to autoconvert it gives us a
long japanese message with an OK button ..

All language settings are set to English(UK) ..

I'm stumped .. any ideas peeps ?

read autoconvert as autocorrect ..

So you are getting a dialog in Japanese, not replacing the word with
Japanese text? And you get this message if you set up autocorrect in tools,
autocorrect or type the word to be corrected? Does it do it with any other
words in autocorrect? Do you have support for Japanese installed?

Correct a "seemingly" Japanese Dialog box pops up ..

And you get this message if you set up autocorrect in tools,
autocorrect or type the word to be corrected?

Again correct, either way causes the "feature"

Does it do it with any other
words in autocorrect? Do you have support for Japanese installed?

Not that we've found , and not that I can tell .. we have never knowingly
installed any other language support than English ...

Mark.
