Hello Mario:

maybe you need the www.24usoftware.com Transcoder plugin. Just last week I
had to use it in a very simple-looking situation. I needed to copy a string
from Word, place it in FMP and copy it from there to paste into the Google
search field. In that case Transcoder is an absolute must as otherwise
higher ASCII characters (like German Umlaute) would get totally mixed up.
The strange thing is that the Transcoder makes very weird-looking characters
in FMP but after copy/paste into Google they are exactly the same as
originally in Word.

I guess you'll need Greek fonts and maybe even a Greek OS (?). I was told
that there are various code pages fro Greek, not just one, or in any case,
not all Greek fonts seem to be interchangeable.

Hello,

I have to translate a german DB (Filemaker 5.5) to a greek one. The
greek version is at the moment in Word. I want to copy the content to
Filemaker via copy & paste, but in FM i get data-scrap. Does anybody a
hint for me to be successful. Why can't I see greek letters in FM ?

Greetings from Germany
Mario
