Word 2003 - Unexpected Greek letters appear

I have an existing document. When I open it and attempt to modify it, the
characters that are inserted are Greek letters not English letters. I have
tried a number of options but apparently have not hit on the right one.

Thoughts?

TIA
 
Is the text at the insertion point formatted in the Greek language? Do you
have the automatically detect language setting checked in Tools > Language?
Office 2007 additionally adds a function to automatically switch the
keyboard to the language of the surrounding text.

Did the font get changed to Symbol at that point?

(Will Word 2007 switch the keyboard even if that language's IME isn't
installed through Windows?)

Click to expand...

It appears to require that the relevant keyboard is pre-installed, but
having Word switch anything automatically is not a route I particularly want
to go down. I prefer to click the keyboard selector on the language toolbar
or activate the keyboard shortcut. As I live in a Greek speaking country I
have the Greek and UK keyboards installed and the function switches between
them according to the language of the text.

Thank you. Sorry I'm so late in replying. I couldn't find the thread.

Turns out that the characters following a bullet were displayed as English
but when a change was made they becamew Greek letters.
