This article was previously published under Q179142
SYMPTOMS
After you install the US version of Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Office
97 on machine that also has Japanese Windows NT 4.0, the Input Method
Editor (IME) in the RichEditControl application behaves incorrectly. The
characters do not convert on top of the cursor, and the character
conversion is done at the bottom left corner of the Window. Also,
sometimes, only half of the double-byte character appears on screen.
CAUSE
The setup for US version of Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Office 97
replaced the Japanese Riched32.dll with English version.
RESOLUTION
Replace the file riched32.dll with the Japanese version.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
