Is Office 2004 a Cocoa application?

[Jan Aukes]

As only Cocoa applications support unicode Office should be therefore
Cocoa. But I suppose this is not the case and probabely I can't use
Services. (I have not Office 2004 yet.)
Maybe someone can explain this to me?

It's not cocoa, and it does support services.

It's not cocoa, and it does support services.

And 2004 does support Unicode. Unicode has nothing whatsoever to do with
Cocoa.

Ok, I suppose you're right. I draw my conclusions from an old posting of
John McGhie <http://tinyurl.com/3emly>, especially point two. But
reading this more carefully I understand now that is possible indeed to
incorporate unicode into a carbon program.
That argument of being too expensive, would that be valid still?

No.

Office 2004 supports unicode. It lets you enter it, it stores it, it
displays it, it prints it...

How else can I put this - it's done!

You can also implement Services and Mouse scroll wheel support in carbon apps
(eg: Thoth).

Personally I'll consider it "done" when it can handle Arabic, Hebrew,
Devanagari, Thai, and Vietnamese. Can you confirm that, at least for
left-to-right non-complex scripts, it handles characters in all
Unicode planes (0-16)?

Thanks!
