Thanks for the ideas. The final text ends up in an XML export. We see Hindi in the Excel spreadsheet that the translators are providing, but it ends up as scrambled Roman characters in Filemaker. I think though that those characters will end up looking right if I set the font to a Hindi one. One

Hi Colin Are you trying to use Hindi for the FileMaker screen text, or in the fields where the user adds data? Option 1 I add a global field example _Text Header to the layout using a "Merge Field", then I use a calculation to equal the value assigned and assign that value from a field with the

Made a discovery. Copy and paste can work if you paste into the right program/ It seems that fonts that can show Roman, Chinese, Japanese, and Thai, cannot show Hindi. The solution may be to change the font to a Hindi one just when using Hindi, and leave it alone for all other languages.

Not sure if it would work, and I have no way to try it, but I think you could set up the spreadsheet as an odbc datasource and pull from it using lc database functionality. Pretty sure that part work, but whether the hindi would arrive intact is another question. On Sun, Dec 14, 2014 at 2:00 PM,

Nobody replied to this question, so here’s an easier one: You’re looking at an Excel spreadsheet, and can clearly see Hindi text in the cells. How do you get that text out of Excel? Copy and past doesn’t work, nor does exporting Unicode text. > On Dec 2, 2014, at 7:29 PM, Colin Holgate wrote:

You can also do a sneaky if you want to see the stackfileversion of one stack from another. you can: send "put the stackfileversion into " to stack "stackname" On Sun, Dec 14, 2014 at 9:17 AM, Klaus major-k wrote: > > Hi David, > > > Am 14.12.2014 um 17:02 schrieb David Epstein : > > > > Is ther
