We do plenty of Russian & unsupported Central/Eastern Euro in Frame 7, too. But this doc was translated in Frame 8, so even assuming I could have made WebWorks 9.2 convert any Frame 7 Russian doc properly, I couldn't down-save this project without corrupting the text.
This whole project was produced with FM 7 & WW 8 last year, but my client later upgraded to Frame 8. I had to recreate in WW ePub a WebWorks 8 template that relied almost entirely on macros to write & structure the code. Based on a cursory look at ePub, which said it could convert WW8 templates, what I originally assumed would take 6-8 hours turned into 60+ just to do the English template. I'm a pretty fast learner, but I am NOT a developer & had no experience with the macro language, so it's just been a nightmare start to finish. And since we don't have much demand for WW ePub, I'll probably have forgotten all this hard-earned knowledge when this project comes back around in 12-18 months. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy H.

Actually, we've been doing Russian for years in FM7 and even FM6. You just need to use a Cyrillic font; any of the fonts with names ending in CYR will do (Windows code page 1251). FM8 improves the Russian support, by using Unicode directly. But you can do almost everything you can do in FM8 in the earlier versions. The only difference I recall is that two fairly obscure characters used in the Ukrainian dialect were inaccessible because Frame reserved their code points in the Cyrillic font mapping. Mif2Go, BTW, works with all versions of Frame and handles Cyrillic just fine. You might want to try it (free): http://www.omsys.com/dcl/download.htm It's a lot less expensive than the ePP upgrade, and does more for you. IMHO. ;-) -- Jeremy H.
