How to disable Indic syllable form editing in MS word

[हरिराम via Indic]

Sir,

More rending problems found in
Babelpad

For example I copied following line from MS word 2007

*वर्ष सितंबर*, *2017 की स्‍थिति के अनुसार राजभाषा कार्यान्वयन समिति की
बैठकों की स्‍थिति  *
*( लक्ष्‍य वर्ष में 4 बैठकें )*

and pasted it in Babelpad

But it shows wrongly as (Screenshot)


*[image: Inline image 1]*

so Babelpad is not a good Indic Editor like MS word.

If you have any Trick/tool to temporarily disable the Indic Shaping Engine
in MS word
to enable character-level editing, Kindly inform.

With regards.
