windows change default font in word 2016

Style Inspector shows the text as Normal / Default Paragraph Font with no overrides. However, I've tried changing the text into full-width (DBCS) and back to half-width (SBCS) and it makes no difference. Into single bytes used to create havoc, so with actual DBCS characters it makes sense to prevent this. As those familiar with DBCS will know, trying to change a double-byte character

In other words, it seems to think it's all DBCS text, and stops me from changing that. What I *can* do is change the text to e.g. English (United Kingdom), (Complex) Thai, Complex Script Font: Arial.'). Modify the 'Normal' style fails (it currently says ' Font: (Asian) Microsoft JhengHei, (Default) Arial. Spell-check fails, global search & replace on ' Language: (Asian) Korean' -> ' Language: English' (etc.) fails (just doing a search says 'no results found'), changing the font to e.g. All the text was set to 'Korean', and doing ' Select All -> mark selected text as.' with English (either version), French or Thai failed - nothingĬhanges. I was sent a document written in English but created on a Korean system. It has English (US), Japanese, English (UK), French and Thai keyboards installed, along with English (US), Japanese, English (UK), FrenchĪnd Korean proofing tools for Office 2016. It has Japanese as the default language (some Japanese apps don't display properly otherwise). My Windows 10 is set to use English (US) as the display language (because that's the only way I could get Windows to work at all: see ). However, my issue is specific to systems working with Asian (and/or Complex) languages. I have a similar problem to that shown at .
