Re: Enabled languages

Close all open applications, run regedit, rename the Windows registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\LanguageResources, exit regedit, restart Windows, and restart Word (Word should automatically rebuild the key you just renamed with the factory default settings).

I trashed all but English, then restarted...no change.

What it's doing is complicating some standard style presets we use in certain document templates...making a minor tweak to a standard custom style from a clean template results in the stylename modifying itself on the Style menu with the notation "(complex)", which simply confuses everyone. We typically reuse (with some custom tuning) the same basic templates from project to project. With a project having anywhere from a few to 50+ contributors, the potential for confusion (and style conflicts when documents are merged) is really aggravating.

The fact that the behavior then migrates virus-like to the PC of every user who uses the file is really ticking us off. The simple Font dialog box (CTRL-D) gets additional panels added that show Arabic script, among other things.

Spur any insights?

I know nothing of Mohawk - might its script be considered complex by Word? I'm just looking for explanations - none of it should really matter. I agree it does sometimes appear infectious (and is carried in documents) but all Word is showing you is attributes it will use for complex fonts - if you use them. If you don't use them, none of the settings should affect anything else. You say it is wreaking havoc - what exactly is it doing?

If anyone has a solution, I'd like to hear it as well.

I've tried checking all of my language settings (everything is English US)
in both the OS and Office 2003. Trashing Normal.dot didn't help either.

I turned on the formatting in the Normal style and it indicates the
Language
settings:

Language:
(Complex) Arabic Saudi Arabia
English US

Nowhere do I have Arabic Saudia Arabia selected in any language
settings...

which Word is behaving fine opens one of those templates, the complex

behavior attaches itself to that machine.

If we have a defined Style that is OK, any change (like, making it bold)
turns it "complex"

Anyone know how to make that go away? Have tried trashing the Normal
template - that doesn't work
