Phonetic guide for Japanese issue

Hello,

Over the years, I've been using several versions of Word and the phonetic guide always worked fine. Now, with 2013 I found that most of the time when I select a phrase with kanji to add furigana (the hiragana reading above the kanji), not only adds hiragana to the kanji, it adds hiragana above the hiragana itself as well, which is meaningless and makes me lose a lot time deleting that useless part. For example:

If I write 助け合う it contains two kanji: 助 and 合, the remaining two are writen in hiragana, which is the basic reading. So, in previous versions of Word when I selected that word I got:

たす above 助, け(Nothing above it), あ above 合, う(Nothing above it).

In 2013 what I get is:

たす above 助, け(け above け), あ above 合, う(う above う).

The red O is the right procedure to show the furigana, the X is the wrong procedure that occurs with 2013.

Is there any way to fix this? 

Regards.

I don't think anyone has encountered this issue yet in 2013.

I guess that you have the Japanese language pack installed.

Truth is still truth, even if you don't believe in it.

A Japanese friend of mine also encountered the same issue. But I guess that unfortunately, nobody has said nothing in any forum or community yet.

I have everything I need to see and to write Japanese characters. So, I don't think that is the problem.

The link you gave me is an online dictionary. Thanks anyway.

I have run into this same issue as soon as I started using Word 2016.  I never had this problem with my older versions of Word 2010 and before.  I hope Microsoft takes a serious look at this issue because there should be more people running into this problem.
