RE: Russian text how?

You probablly need to install Russian Language Support on your computer
(from your OS disc).  After you do that, you'll be able to "convert" your
keyboard to a Russian keyboard by hitting "shift-spacebar", I think.
Hopefully you'll just be able to copy and paste the data and it will
transfer over with the Cyrillic type intact.  If not, you'll need to learn
the Russian keyboard which is kind of a pain, as all of the letters are in
different places (hopefully you're familiar with Cyrillic; I read Russian
pretty well, but learning the keyboard was something I was never able to
do).  :)  Good luck!

Subject: Russian text how?


I'm building a site where one of the languages is russian.  I'm being sent
the translated text in *.doc format and the text looks just fine in Word but
how do I get this text on to the web page?

Doing copy and paste just shows a bunch of question marks so what I did is
saved a copy of the *.doc file as *.htm.  I looked at the code and I see
that all it does is change the letters to their equivalent in ASCII.  I know
this will work but isn't there a better way?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Emil
