From: Diamonds_Mine on 1 Jun 2010 17:36 Using Windows XP SP3 and Office 2003 SP3 w/multi-language packs installed. I have added Arabic (Saudi Arabia) as an input language and would like to use a script to set the "Numeral" option from "Arabic" to "Context" in Word (Tools | Options, Complex Scripts). I am using the script below based on a similar script found on the TechNet website. The script runs without errors, but the setting is not changed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance On Error Resume Next Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") Set objOptions = objWord.Options() objOptions.ArabicNumeral = wdNumeralContext objWord.Quit

I would also comment that it is counterproductive to use an "On Error Resume Next" statement that blankets the script, especially without any error checking. It just hides the errors that may exist, without making the script any more robust. It also makes such errors nearly impossible to troubleshoot. (I realize MS sample scripts generally do this, but that doesn't make it any better.) _____________________ Tom Lavedas
