This article was previously published under Q293121
NOTE: This article discusses complex scripts functionality. Complex

tool to enable a language, such as Arabic or Hebrew, that requires this
functionality. For more information about multilingual features, click Microsoft <I BRACKET="YES">your Office product</I> Help on the Help menu, type multilingual features in the
Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topics that are returned.
SYMPTOMS
If you select
Farsi or
Urdu in the
Language dialog box (click
Language on the
Tools menu), the next time you view the
Language settings, the selected language has changed to one of the Arabic
dialects, such as:
- Arabic (Saudi Arabia)
- Arabic (Algeria)
- Arabic (Egypt)
- Arabic (Jordan)
RESOLUTION
Set the language for the selected text to
(no proofing) and then set the language to
Farsi or
Urdu. To do this, follow these steps:
- Select the text that you want to change to Farsi or
Urdu.
- On the Tools menu, click Language. Click (no proofing), and then click OK.
- On the Tools menu, click Language. Click Farsi or Urdu, and then click OK.
STATUS
Microsoft
has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed
at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
The
Language setting does not translate text into other languages. Rather, it
tells PowerPoint what language a certain portion of text is. If the appropriate
spelling dictionaries are available, PowerPoint can check the spelling in the
selected language. A spelling dictionary is available if a check mark with the
letters
ABC appears beside the selected language in the
Language dialog box.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2002 Standard Edition

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
