Reveal Formatting
I'm setting up a laptop someone else used and they had used English/Arabic... I have it all set for english and even reinstalled Office but every time I open word at the botton is says Arabic but as soon as I typ something it types it in english which is fine but it is typing right to left. Sheesh! If i set the paragraph to start doing left to right i'm ok but how do I set the permantly. If I go into Reveal Formatting it shows Language as (Complex) Aribic Saudi Aribia & English US. How do I get rid of this Aribic completly..... and have the default come up in English left to right.... Been playing with this all day need to get the Exprts on it.
Many Thanks

well I had checked Regional setting. I reinstalled word but made sure I deleted what uninstall didn't and still no help so it's getting this ifo from the registry somewhere. I seen an articale that pointed me to the registery and that remover the aribic shown in reveal formatting but I could not get it from starting on the right side. Also when I went into the paragraph i could before set it to left now it was already set to left even though it wasnt. If i said right the curser went to the left. I finally gave up and deleted windows & reinstalled.

You're welcome for the help. I'm sorry that you had to throw out the baby with the bathwater, but at least it's working, right? :)
