Specify South Asian font characteristics

The feature or some of the options described in this Help topic are only available if support for the appropriate South Asian language is enabled through Microsoft Office Language Settings.

You can determine separate font characteristics for complex script language text (including South Asian) and other language text.

1. Select the text whose appearance you want to change.
2. On the Format menu, click Font, and then click the Font tab.
3. Choose the font characteristics in the set of controls that applies to the language type of your selected text— for example, use the boxes under Complex scripts for South Asian text and the Latin text font boxes for Western text.

   Note  To set the font characteristics for Vietnamese text, use the Latin text font box. This is a change from versions previous to Word 2002.
