Use the Japanese Consistency Checker

The feature described in this Help topic is only available if support for Japanese is enabled through Microsoft Office Language Settings.

The Japanese Consistency Checker searches all text in a document and displays instances where different writing variants are being used for words with the same meaning. For example, it will show if you have entered tekisuto in one location and tekusuto in another. You can make your use of characters consistent by selecting the appropriate characters from the revision suggestions.

  1. On the Tools menu, click Japanese Consistency Checker.

    The variations in the active document that were checked are displayed in the Word list box.

  2. To make variations consistent, select the variation you want to change in the Word list box, and select a different variation in the Replace with box.

Note  You can set options for checking consistency. In the Consistency Checker dialog box, click Options. Under Grammar, click Settings. Under Consistency Checking in the Grammar and style options box, select the options you want.
