# Japanese Guide Text - Microsoft Excel

This option prevents output of Japanese phonetic guide text when Microsoft Excel (`.xlsx`) files are processed.

To prevent output of Japanese phonetic guide text

- In the Python API, call the method `skip_phonetic_guides` on your session configuration. For example:

      session.config.skip_phonetic_guides(True)

- In `formats.ini`, set the following parameter. (This is an alternative approach - you do not need to do this if you have configured this feature through the API).

      [Options]
      NoPhoneticGuides=TRUE
