| Dec 26, 2015 at 9:57 | comment | added | MickG | Nope, no change. But I just found out something even weirder: while opening, and when the Project Gallery is open, the Keyboard is Hiragana. When the new document actually opens, the Keyboard changes back to US Extended! | |

Word's use of the word "font" in that setting makes little sense, because most Latin fonts can be used for different languages normally demanding different keyboards. Did you use the Language Register to enable asian languages on your Word? | |
| Dec 25, 2015 at 15:31 | comment | added | MickG | FWIW the blank document I just created has English (US) as language. But could that have to do with my subsequent changing the keyboard back to US Extended? | |
| Dec 25, 2015 at 15:30 | comment | added | MickG | @TomGewecke the box is checked. I have no idea. I can't quite see how that box could influence the setting since the documents I usually open are in Times New Roman which is decidedly not a Japanese font. Besides, that box is useful when checked, so when I type Chinese the font gets auto-changed appropriately. How do I verify the language of "my default document"? | |
| Dec 25, 2015 at 15:22 | comment | added | Tom Gewecke | In Word > Preferences > Edit, is the box unchecked for match font with keyboard? Is there any chance that the language of your default document has been marked as Japanese? | |
