Windows 10: When I open my file in Word, my styles are applied intermittently

Yesterday, before my computer updated, I created a file with specific paragraph and font styles. I forwarded it to my boss, and she opened it on her computer. The styles were there in the document, but not functioning correctly. Some fonts were showing up in the document incorrectly as other fonts, though when you tried to modify them in the styles bar they were correct. I saved the document as a template and sent it back to her. The first time it opened correctly. The second time she opened it, it reverted to the incorrect version. The third time was correct, the fourth time was inco

Not able to apply the installed Malayalam fonts on Microsoft word

Hi,

R. Cord here, Independent Expert. Hope you are doing well.

Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try first:

Make sure that the selected text is not formatted with a style that overrides the font. For example, if the text is formatted with the "Heading 1" style, it may be using a different font that overrides your selected font. Try selecting the text and applying the "Normal" style to remove any overrides.

Check if the default font is set to the Malayalam font. In Microsoft Word, go to File > Options > General, and make sure that the "Default font" is set to the Malayalam font. Try copying and pasting the text into a new document. Sometimes, formatting issues can be carried over when copying and pasting text, so creating a new document may help.

As for adding the Malayalam fonts to the complex script list, you can try the following steps:

Go to Settings > Time & Language > Language.

Click on "Add a language" and select Malayalam.

Click on "Options" and select "Download and install language pack".

After the language pack is installed, go back to the Language settings, click on "Options" and select "Add a keyboard".

Select the "Malayalam" keyboard and add it to your list of keyboards.

You should now be able to select the Malayalam font from the complex script list.

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue with your Malayalam fonts in Microsoft Word and Notepad.

 

Word 2016 Styles not working

I have Word 2016 and don't see any problem with styles. Your statement "...when I click on styles the style applied jumps up and displays one or more above the one I am clicking on" isn't clear; could you provide a screen shot of what's happening? If
you open Programs and Features (Windows key + x), right-click on the Office entry and choose "Change" you can attempt a repair.
