Is there a way to insert extended Unicode characters into Word X?
So far as I can tell, there isn't. Extended characters (such as Unicode
0113, which is Latin small e with a "macron" (an overline), can't be
inserted into Word from the Character Palette. If one attempts to copy
them into Word from a Unicode-capable program such as TextEdit,
they get converted to different characters (such as underline).
If there' no way to insert extended Unicode characters into Word,
then Word X, then Word X will become increasingly worthless. This
would be bad business for Microsoft, so I hope that Microsoft will
correct this situation ASAP. So far as I can tell, Word for Windows _is_
Unicode-capable.
Thanks for your help.
