So when i'm typing English into Hanguel word (the program) it randomly starts inserting Korean Characters. Anyone know how to stop this or why it happens?

Damn lesson planning....

That program is the spawn of Satan. I used to help my wife type up her tests in that program where there were long passages, I'm just faster than her. Randomly in the middle it would switch from English to Chinese or Japanese. Then it wouldn't let me change it back!

I will never use that program again. If it can't be done in MS Word, I'm not doing it.

Do yourself a favor and avoid that program like the plague it is. Download and install OpenOffice in English and then train your co-teachers to only send you documents they've saved in RTF or DOC formats.

There is a way to stop the program from switching languages automatically. You'll need to go to the tools/options menu and deselect auto-selection of language. The reason the program switches is because whatever key combination you hit, it recognized it as not an appropriate combination in the language you had selected at the time and then switched to the language it recognizes for that combination.

I'm at home now and, of course, don't have that trash on my personal computer. When I get to school tomorrow, I can check the manual and post here what the menu path is to fix this for you.

I think I'm beginning to understand the term Ko-rapware....

The Korean anti virus makes my browser freeze when ever it updates, and takes half a day to do a full scan... My DivX file manager white screens whenever I'm transferring files... the printer drivers at the school make the computer slow down terribly on system startup... the list is endless..

i'd rather do everything in notepad than use that god forsaken program.

if you save documents in rtf format, you can edit them in word and your coworkers can also read them and make changes in hangul word. rtf is a truly universal document format ... the only problem is that file sizes are bigger, since the document needs to remember more data to be cross-program compatible.

i use hangul word at work and i hate the program. i usually copy/paste everything into microsoft word.
