Word 2003/2007 - "Fix Broken Text"? "Paul Gorodyansky" <paulgor[ at ]compuserve.com> 6/5/2007 8:25:29 PM It's still a handy feature for say Russian texts copied to Word on non-Russian computer and looking like 'gibberish" (really, accented Western European letters shown instead of Russian). Word 2000/XP has a Microsoft download page for eefonts.exe macro that creates "Fix Broken Text' in Tools menu Microsoft sometimes calls it "broken fond add-in" But how to enable it on Word 2003 (where Microsoft site says, "it's a part of product") or in Word 2007 (where Microsoft says, "it's not part of the product anymore but can be obtained on-line)? On Office 2003 download site - http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/CD010224941033.aspx there is no such add-in neither under "Office 2003 ad-ins" nor under "Word 2003 add-ins" -- Regards, Paul Gorodyansky "Cyrillic (Russian): instructions for Windows and Internet": http://RusWin.net Russian On-screen Keyboard: http://Kbd.RusWin.net

"Klaus Linke" <info[ at ]fotosatz-kaufmann.de> 6/6/2007 8:01:06 PM Hi Paul, For Word 2003, run the Windows Control Panel > Software > Office setup > Add or remove features. I'm sure you'll find it listed as quickly as I could, likely something along " Shared features > International support". For 2007, this page says it's still available online: http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/e55b85c1-213f-47d5-809c-aba9331ae0331033.mspx?mfr=true I'm pretty sure the eefonts.dot from Word2000 still works, and they are referring to that. It's in the Office Ressource Kit Tools for the older versions. But you got it already, so I didn't have to tell you. Just for anybody else who might need the feature <g> Regards, Klaus "Paul Gorodyansky" <paulgor[ at ]compuserve.com> wrote: [Quoted Text] > It's still a handy feature for say Russian texts copied to Word on > non-Russian computer > and looking like 'gibberish" (really, accented Western European letters > shown instead of Russian). > > Word 2000/XP has a Microsoft download page for eefonts.exe macro that > creates > "Fix Broken Text' in Tools menu > > Microsoft sometimes calls it "broken fond add-in" > > But how to enable it on Word 2003 (where Microsoft site says, "it's a part > of product") > or in Word 2007 (where Microsoft says, "it's not part of the product > anymore but > can be obtained on-line)? > > On Office 2003 download site - > http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/CD010224941033.aspx > there is no such add-in neither under "Office 2003 ad-ins" nor under > "Word 2003 add-ins" > > > -- > Regards, > Paul Gorodyansky > "Cyrillic (Russian): instructions for Windows and Internet": > http://RusWin.net > Russian On-screen Keyboard: http://Kbd.RusWin.net >

There is no such items in my Control Panel (do you really have there an icon called "Software"), but yes, I thought about that way - find Office 2003 CD-ROM and run Setup assuming it will offer me "Install / Repair / Install additional features" > I'm sure you'll find it listed as quickly as I could, likely something along > " Shared features > International support". Right, somewhere there. I did not do it - because I was asking on behalf of another person (who wrote me e-mail in Russian with that question) while in my Word 2003 I already have such option - but could not recall how did I add it :-) > > For 2007, this page says it's still available online: > http://technet2.microsoft.com/Office/en-us/library/e55b85c1-213f-47d5-809c-aba9331ae0331033.mspx?mfr=true > > I'm pretty sure the eefonts.dot from Word2000 still works, and they are > referring to that. No, I saw in forums that people tried that - it did not work neither for Word 2003 nor for 2007 - they saw error message, "You need to have Word _2000_ to use that macro". > It's in the Office Ressource Kit Tools for the older versions. But you got > it already, so I didn't have to tell you. Finally I recalled one more way to do it (aside from running Setup) and that person tried it - it worked: - I found a note in my archive that Word 2003 has such option already and it is "installed on 1st use" - so I suggested that guy to create "1st use situation": - have "gibberish" text in Word 2003 window (copied from somewhere) - select that text - Tool/Language - "Set Language" - choose "Russian These steps made the text readable (Cyrillic text) _and_ after that he realized that there is a new item in Tools menu - "Fix Broken Text". That is, the option was "installed on 1st use" :) -- Regards, Paul Gorodyansky "Cyrillic (Russian): instructions for Windows and Internet": http://RusWin.net Russian On-screen Keyboard: http://Kbd.RusWin.net
