I use several different keyboard layouts (German, Russian, Spanish, Greek, US English) on my Macbook. For some reason, when I'm using the Russian layout in MS Word 2004, the layout changes back to US or Spanish any time I click somewhere (e.g. a different table cell or a different line). As you may imagine, it is highly frustrating to have to constantly switch the layout from the menu bar. The Russian layout is the only one with this issue. Anyone have an idea how I can fix this annoyance?

My OS is 10.5.5
Word is 11.5.3

Thanks in advance for any help!

Would it be something under System Preferences --> International?

Am I the only one on this forum who has experienced this type of problem? :D Any ideas at all?

I think the language needs to be set for either the template, or the style you're currently using (I know in Pages, you can set the language per style...).

Perhaps root around in the manual a bit?

I think I found it and its a really obscure button (typical MS)

Word > Preferences > Edit

Uncheck the Match font with keyboard button

Oh, bless you! That did the trick! That option made sense (once one can unearth it :) ) because the Russian layout is totally different.

Thanks again.
