I have a totally English document, but Word 2008 keeps marking it as
Japanese. There are no Japanese characters in my document. I started this
document from scratch.

It does not matter whether 1) I update my normal style so that Asian text is
MS Gothic and Latin text is TNR and change the language setting for Normal,
or 2) whether I change the language setting for an individual paragraph, Word
insists on changing the language setting back to Japanese as soon as I do
something like centering.

How do I get Word to stop changing the language?

This has just started happening to me -- but in my case it's not
Japanese but English (AUS).

I htink I've been working with a document cxreated in Word Windows that
may have been corrupted -- it was certainly strange -- but it looks like
*something* is going on.

I've tried everything I can thihnk of, including reverting to a
normal.dotm from a month ago (via Time Machine) and nothing's working.

Going to Repair Permissions and see if that does it.

One question: I recently installed the beta version of FruitMenu -- did
you? It seems to be working perfectly... but I suppose it could be
affecting Word.
