MS Office Forum / Word / General MS Word Questions / April 2004Cutting and pasting Cyrillic into other programmes.
I would like to use pieces of Cyrillic (Russian) text from a Word document in Works Database. Unfortunately, using cut and paste does not seem to work. Is there any way of doing this, with or without additional software? I do not know what version of Word and of Workd you are using, so its hard to say what might be happening. Could you provide some more information on the applications and versions you are using (and also the default system locale setting and version of your operating system), as well as the exact manifestation of failure when you say it "does not seem to work" ?

I have: Microsoft Word 200 (9.0.3821 SR-1) Microsoft Works 200 Wersja (Version) 5.0 Both are the Polish versions. What happens is this: I type something in Russian in a Word document using Times New Roman. I cut it and try to paste it into one of the boxes in Baza Danych (Database). No matter which font I have selected, it always comes out as a string of question marks. Even Teletext Russian does not work. I can type using this font (although the keyboard configuration is no longer the Russian typewriter arrangement I have in Word) but as soon as I hit Enter, it changes to another string of question marks. >-----Original Message----- >I do not know what version of Word and of Workd you are using, so its hard >to say what might be happening.

This would indicate that the program is not a Unicode program, and that your default system locale (named the "language for non-Unicode programs" in WindowsXP and Windows Server 2003) is not set to Russian (or other locale that supports the Russian default system code page). > Even Teletext Russian does not work.

Same issue. Question marks mean bad conversion from Unicode. SignatureMichKa [MS] NLS Collation/Locale/Keyboard Development Globalization Infrastructure and Font Technologies This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. With that in mind, is there a way to convert Database so that it accepts Unicode? By the way, I forgot to mention that I am working under Windows ME (PL), if that is any help. As far as I know, you need to change products -- to find one that supports Unicode. Like Jet (4.0) or SQL Server (7.0 or later).

If you cannot upgrade your Works to its Unicode version as MichKa suggested, then you can use some work-around methods - that 'question marks' problem *is* solvable, you are not the only one who faces same problem while trying to do Copy/Paste between Unicode and non-Unicode programs. Please see Chapter 2 "Copy/Paste" in the "Unicode related issues" section of my site.

Usually such problems happen during Copy/Paste between a Unicode program (such as MS Word 2000 or Internet Explorer) and a non-Unicode program (f.e. Dreamweaver) if Cyrillic is not a system code page. There are some work-around methods for such situation - please see Chapter 2 "Copy/Paste" in the "Unicode related issues" section of my site.
