problem: Word 2007 + Hebrew

david h

Win XP Pro, MS Word 2007,Office as well.
Word 2007 shows the proper font in the font menu, but cannot display/type it.

any idea?

Are you trying to enter Hebrew text or Latin text? If you have a mixed Hebrew and Latin font, you need to support the MS Latin 1 codepage as well as the Hebrew codepage in order to input Latin text. I consider this a bug, but I'm not sure if MS Office does.

Thanks John. I'm trying Hebrew, and Hebrew + Latin. However, I don't have any kind of problem with Word 2003.

Is this happening with MS supplied fonts, or your fonts or both?

No, not with MS supplied fonts, only my fonts.

Do you want to send me one and we'll take a look - simonda@ you know where.

Cheers, Si

Yes, thank you Simon.
