Problem with Microsoft Word's Phonetic Guide


Recommended Posts

Posted

大家好,

I am trying to save time and use Microsoft Word to transcribe a conversation in Chinese characters into pinyin. I could work around it and transcribe it myself, but it seems like a really useful tool that I could use in the future.

I found this tool in:

Format > Asian Layout > Phonetic Guide

When I use the phonetic guide, I get all of this crazy formatting stuff that I can't seem to sort through. Do I have some sort of strange setting on? I noticed that I get a similar result when I type in website names and hit space to make it become a link.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks so much!

Problem solved! Apparently I had "Field Codes" toggled. Sorry for the waste of a post! But maybe if someone else comes across this problem, they will find this post! :mrgreen:
