eNGINe,



Thanks for responding!

I just tried to copy a sample to show you, but it pasted here in English with no problem. So the document still exists as English but is still showing up looking like a Greek style language when I bring it up in Word

Ctrl+Spacebar didn't seem to do anything.

I don't have a text editor other than Word

1. I'd feel s-o-o restricted without a plain-text editor – apart from anything else, it's often a very good thing to focus on content rather than formatting. Try Notepad++, or if you're ready for a paradigm shift go straight for Vim
2. While you're still in Word, the fact that ctrl + spacebar didn't do anything suggests a gremlin in the paragraph style. The screenshot shows the standard Lorum ipsum:

• • first, with a local override to display it with the Windows Symbols font – looks Greek, indeed, but isn't
  • second, after selecting the paragraph and using ctrl + spacebar to clear the override and display the paragraph in the default font for the style

So my guess would still be, either there's a local font override applied or the style definition for the affected paragraph(s) has mysteriously acquired Symbol as its font. The latter would explain why ctrl+spacebar does nothing you can see.

Thanks, eNGINe

I'll play around with it tonight with your suggestions. (will get a text editor as you suggest)
Best Regards
