SYMPTOMS
========

When you have text formatted in a language other than English (United States),
if you include that text in a hyperlink, the language reverts to English (United
States).

CAUSE
=====

By default, the hyperlink style includes the English (United States) language
setting.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This scenario also occurs when you use a proofing tool in a language other than
English, if the keyboard is set to the non-English language. The text is
automatically formatted in that language until the Hyperlink style is applied.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.

This problem has been corrected in Word 2000.
