How to set default language churin <churin[ at ]new.postalias> 3/24/2007 7:38:47 PM I am using WORD 2003 on English Windows XP Pro with the default input language set for Japanese. Presently, when I launch Word 2003 and start typing in then WORD responds as if I am writing Japanese, so that I have to switch the input language to English by pressing a hotkey combination. There is Language settings tool in the program folder of MS Office Tools which I used to set default language to be English but the problem remains. Could anyone help?

I tried four PCs. With two of them, default language setting of English by Office overrode default system language setting of Japanese, but with other two, the overriding did not happend. With these two PCs, I had to set the system default to be English.

See if that helps at all?
