hello

i have office 2013 and Microsoft proofing for Persian. it was working nice and smooth until when i converted a pdf to word which was in Persian with a tool and it wanted me to install some Persian fonts which were in original pdf in order to open converted file in word (maybe it added some of them itself!) i did so and after then always when i switch key layout to Persian, Dari, Arabic and similar languages (no problem with English) word doesn't type! unless i press space or backspace and then i can type Persian until i switch to another app and then when i come back the problem occurs again! i tried uninstalling the new fonts, repairing office and proofing, but no success! it's just in word, not in other apps such as powerpoint

any help?
