Re: Polish in FrameMaker
Hello Ann, it was Windows and yes! It works as you described. I keep referring my trainees to you for special issues like these, but apparantly, they keep forgetting your name, so they always come back to me . ;-) I did notice a difference between Frame 7.0 and 7.2, however. When I pasted the text in Frame 7.2, it was okay; in Frame 7.0 it was not. Is this a known bug/issue in Frame 7.0? Anyway, it works. Thanks a million and have a nice day.

I will guess Windows for the moment. What I do is save the word file as TXT (and select Central European) as the encoding. Then I open the file using a text editor and copy and paste from there.

RE: Polish in FrameMaker
Yves, I've tried this out on my system. Here's what I did to copy Polish text from Word to FrameMaker: 1. I defined a FrameMaker paragraph format to use the Arial CE font. 2. I typed some text using Polish characters in a Word document. 3. I selected the text in Word and used Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard. 4. In FrameMaker, I put the insertion point into the paragraph formatted with the Arial CE font. 5. I chose Paste Special from the Frame Edit menu and selected RTF as the paste format. Bingo - the Polish characters displayed as expected. You could move RTF to the beginning of the ClipboardFormatsPriorities line in maker.ini. This will allow you to use regular Paste to put the Polish text in. I can also switch to the Polish keyboard and type Polish text directly into Frame. I didn't need to customise maker.ini or use WGL Assistant to activate Arial CE.
