Hi, all. Thank you for your earlier help on Unicode. I am teaching at a school in Ontario, Canada that trains Ojibwe and Cree (indigenous North American languages) literacy, and we use the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics (CAS). I have written several routines in Revolution that will readily convert Roman-orthography Ojibwe and Cree into Unicode CAS, and this is extremely helpful. However, there is one pesky problem that I don¹t really understand... if I convert several Ojibwe words to Unicode, then put the Unicode on the clipboard and paste it into Word (2008 on a Mac), the paste works fine, and I get CAS letters pasted. However, for some reason, if I convert a single word, I often get nothing or a string of question-marks. Why would this work with a string of words but not a single word? Now if I add spaces after the single word, I still seem to get nothing; but if I add a dummy word, then the paste works. Also the paste works with single words in TextEdit, just not in Word. If I tell Word to just paste the text, instead of ³styled text,² the paste works as well. Is there some programming trick I could do to get this to work simply on a default paste into Word? The reason I ask is that my students are often just beginning to use computers, and having to add geekomancy (such as ³just paste text²) to any process proves an insurmountable barrier. Thanks for any thoughts.
Also, I¹m sure this has been asked a million times, but has anyone among the cognoscenti written up notes outlining what Rev can and can¹t do with Unicode? I try scouring the earlier list material, but of course, it¹s not organized. Thanks.
