Visio and display of Cyrillic words (Russian)

[Archade]

I am having a problem trying to insert some Russian translations into Visio.
Now this is not really the problem but rather when leaving Visio to return to
Word, the Russian translation copied into the cell is displayed by question
marks(?????). If I reenter VISIO, I can read the Russian translation - I have
tried out all the options known to me at the moment, but nothing seems to
help.

Digits are displayed OK, if I replace the Russian translation with e.g. an
English or Spanish translation, then everything is OK and am able to read the
translation correctly.

Word version is Office 97 and the Visio version is Visio 2003. What am I
doing wrong?

I would be grateful for any help.

With best regards

Archade

Hi,

I am not sure but you can try this:

Start->Control Panel->Regional and language options

in the dialog choose the Advanced tab. Now you should see the property
sheet with a combobox and a text above it: "Select a language to match
the language version of non-Unicode programs you want to use".

Select "Russian" in the combobox then press OK. Probably, Windows will
ask you to reboot.

I guess that after the manipulations you will see Cyrillic letters in
your drawing.

Hi,

Thanks so much for answering my question. However, after following you tips
I must confess that it has unfortunately not helped. Visio still displays all
the Russion I copied and pasted as "??????? ??? ?????". I am really at loss,
what to do. Our clients need the Owner's Manual of our pump contorls quick!

In any case, once again, thanks for your help! Greatly appreceated
