Re: Unneeded Languages In Documents

I am cleaning up some documents for another group and many have different

include:

<span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"MS
PGothic";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;
color:black;mso-fareast-language:JA;mso-no-proof:no'>

<span lang=EN-GB style='mso-fareast-font-family:"MS PGothic";
mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;color:black;background:fuchsia;mso-
highlight:fuchsia;mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;mso-fareast-language:JA;
mso-no-proof:no'>

Is there any way to remove these references from the HTML (even if there are
zero characters associated with it), or does it being there not hurt any
thing?


Hi George,

Have you tried to select the whole doc and set the language to "English (UK)"?
Maybe it might also help to uncheck the option in "Tools > Options > Save" to embed language-specific info... not sure.

Maybe it doesn't hurt much to just ignore it. One way in which it can be annoying is that Word may switch the font for text it deems to be Asian.

Regards,
Klaus
