Font Dialog Box troubles Justme 12/22/2008 11:42:01 PM 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) Normal: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v465/hannaconkle/FontDialogBox01.jpg[/IMG] <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v465/hannaconkle/?action=view¤t=FontDialogBox01.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v465/hannaconkle/FontDialogBox01.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Mine: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v465/hannaconkle/FontDialogBox02-1.jpg[/IMG] <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v465/hannaconkle/?action=view¤t=FontDialogBox02-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v465/hannaconkle/FontDialogBox02-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Re: Font Dialog Box troubles "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 12/23/2008 10:23:54 AM 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? -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Justme" <Justme[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:9EEFB08E-38E4-4E00-84F6-A606288E8100[ at ]microsoft.com...
