My office word 2003 keeps changing the input back from English to Japanese when I do something like type backspace or click around in a document...

I know there is a way to stop it from doing this, but I just can't pin point where the option is..

Further info:

  • Windows xp professional
  • Office 2003
  • Windows IME

Thanks in advance

In case that you do not want to change document, you can disable option of automatic keyboard switching. It is under Tools, Options, Edit, "Auto-keyboard switching". Once you un-check it keyboard layout will not be affected by moving.

In case you like behavior but your language was detected wrong, select all text and go to Tools, Languange, Set language. Then set language to English (or any other language). Unfortunately it will also mess up your spell checking if there are multiple languages in document and you do not have will or time to select each part one-by-one. Checking "Detect language automatically" might help there.

I'm on the same setup as you. My problem was that it kept switching my IME to Japanese Natural Input and it kept starting me off in Hiragana mode every time I clicked into a text box, especially when writing a new email message, for example. The above answers didn't help me either.

So I went to Tools -> Options -> Edit (tab) and I unchecked IME TrueInline. That may have turned off some feature but at least it leaves my IME alone now without any switching. It stays in IME standard and whatever setting I have it to.
