Previewing other languages

[Thomas Orona]

Hello,
I was wondering how to display other languages like Russian in word? Is this
a font issue or an option that I could just change in word.

Thanks
Thomas

Hi,

Full Russian support requires Unicode which Office X doesn't support.
Unicode support should come with Office 2004.
If you are lucky, the fonts you want to open have been created with a
non unicode font in which case, all you need is to hae the same font on
your Mac.

If you have Panther (OS 10.3) or Jaguar (10.2), or else had ever installed
the Cyrillic Language Kit back in OS 9, then you should have Cyrillic fonts
already - about half a dozen fonts that all end in the letters "CY". They
usually appear towards the bottom of the Fonts list rather than
alphabetically ; Times CY, Charcoal CY, Geneva CY, Helvetica CY, Monaco CY
and if you're in OS X Lucida Grande CY. If you switch to them, and also
switch your Input menu (called Keyboard menu in 10.2) to the Russian flag,
you should be able to start typing in Russian. You can install the Input
menu (Keyboard menu) and also Russian as a keyboard option, in System
preferences/International.

I use Word98 and OS 9.1. I display Russian text with the
Prymoj Prop font. It allows me to also display the
translated text in the same document.
