I have been given the task of standardising a range of Word 2007 documents so that all the styles are the same, as well as the layout and structure.
These documents all contain English plus one other language in the same document - they have been authored in-country but all have different styles applied.

The styles that I have set are fine with the documents that are English+French, English+Russian, English+German etc., but I am having all sorts of problems with documents that are English+Hebrew, English+Korean, English+Simplified Chinese, English+Japanese.

The basic problem is that, first, some settings in some languages might interfere with the English/Russian settings, and, second, it is really hard to find a font that can work with all of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. So my feeling is that you probably will never be able to come up with a single set of standard... See more What kind of problems are you exactly encountering?
