Hi Everyone,

I am developing some scripts in VBA Editor using Excel (365) on Windows 11.

Reinstalled Japanese Language Pack, checked Windows IME settings, changed VBA Editor Fonts, installed unicode fonts, changed system locale to Japanese, set Regional Format to Japan.

A am able to write in Japanese in other applications using Windows IME.

However when typing in VBA Editor using IME, random (i think) Japanese characters are entered into the line after selecting from IME.

Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi @Anthony B

    Could you please take a screenshot of the whole VBA editor?

    Reinstalled Japanese Language Pack,

    Do you mean that you have changed the Office display language to Japanese?

    Please also try to set Japanese as the Windows display language for a check.
