Turkish Characters

[richmond]

I have Microsoft Office v.X for Macintosh. I want to type in Turkish
using the Turkish-QWERTY-PC keyboard. I can do this by using the
Apple's TextEdit and even now in this box! but I can't if I am using
Word or Excel or Entourage or any other of the Office programs. So I
know it is not an Apple problem or issue. It is an Office
issue/problem. By the way if I want to insert a character by using the
Unicode Character Palette I can insert most of the Turkish characters.
However there are a few that are missing. So I want to type in Turkish
by using the Turkish-QWERTY-PC keyboard in programs in the Office v.X
How do I do this??? Secondly, how do I find and install the Turkish
characters that are missing in the Unicode Character Palette???

Hi,

Somehow yes... Applications like TextEdit support Unicode. I suspect you
need unicode for these characters and Office X does not support it. Only
Office 2004 does...

By the way if I want to insert a character by using the
Unicode Character Palette I can insert most of the Turkish characters.
However there are a few that are missing.

That entirely depends on what font you are using. Office 2004 comes with
some pretty complete Unicode fonts (like TImes New ROman) that really
contain a LOT of characters.

For the character palette, it depends on the font you are using (in
Unicode applciations of Course).
Now as far as Office goes, you can probably give a try to Office 2004.
The MS site has a demo version you can download.
