Asian Layout

[NDNobbs]

I have tried all of the suggestions for removing the Asian Layout from Word
2003, but nothing changes. No where can I find anything relating to Asian
language that I can change in the All Programs>Microsoft Tools>Language
Settings or through the Control Pane>Regional & Language Options.

I'd appreciate any help you can possibly give me. Thanks!

The first page of the Windows XP Control Panel > Regional & Language
Options > Language tab has two check boxes, one to allow East Asian,
the other to allow complex scripts. Uncheck one or both. (Maybe you
have to restart to flush them from your system.) In Vista I suppose
you'd go all the way to "change keyboards" and individually delete all
the ones you don't want

Thank you, but neither of those boxes are checked and they are grayed out, so
I cannot access them.

Do you have any other suggestions? I'd really like to know where this came
from.

Are they really disabled or just filled with gray? If the latter, that just
means that they represent mixed conditions. If you click on a gray-filled
box, it will be checked. Click again, and it will be cleared.

They are completely grayed out. Can't click and do anything, but neither box
is checked.

If that's the case, then there's evidently some other setting enabled that's
disabling them, but I'm not familiar enough with these features to suggest
what it might be.

Maybe it has something to do with the kind of installation s/he has.
The first time I tried to turn on the two fancy kinds of script by
checking those boxes, I had to insert the installation disk. Maybe s/
he is on a network that's controlled from somewhere else that wants
them to be able to type in Japanese and Arabic and Hindi at the drop
of a hat.
