MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / May 2006Chinese character and mail merge problem
I got a problem when using mail merge. I have a excel file which is the merge source, it contains some simplified chinese character. When I use mail merge, some character changed to "?", but not all of chinese character have problem. My working environment is WinXP + Office2k03/Office 2k Here is my sample: http://www.hk235m.net/downloads/book1.xls http://www.hk235m.net/downloads/docu-2.doc If I switch to WindowsNT environment, RichWin installed(GBK code) and using office 2k, the result is correct, no more "?" sign Any comments are welcome~! Thx! In your example, Word is connecting to the Excel sheet using DDE (which is the default connection method in Word 2000). If you connect to the Excel sheet using the default method for Word 2003 (OLEDB), I think you will see all the Chinese characters as long as you are using a font in Word that supports them. You should be able to switch to OLEDB by disconnecting the data source and reconnecting. In English-language WIndows, I would not expect to see any Chinese characters at all when connecting using DDE. I do not have Chinese-language Windows but I would only expect to see Chinese characters if they were encoded as Multibyte-character-set characters in the default encoding used on Chinese-language Windows, and the font in Word supported them. Since you see the characters when you use Richwin (which I do not have either) I suspect that it may be providing something that makes it work in Windows/Word 2000 with DDE.

Some status update. Applocale + Office2k still have "?" in the mail merge result. Finally, I switch my XP default encoding to Chinese (PRC), it solved. Thanks for the feedback...
