Operating system and target language from the same language family
If the language of the operating system (e.g., German) belongs to the same language family
as the target language (e.g., Portuguese), then some difficulties could possibly occur with
the input of certain characters. However, there will be no problems displaying these
characters with a simple text editor.
Remedy:
• Use the Windows "Character Map" tool
(see Section "Input via the Character Map") or
• or switch the keyboard
(see Section "Using a different keyboard assignment") or
• use the ALT+digit combination to enter these characterseinzelne Zeichen mit
ALT+Ziffernkombination eingeben
(see Section "Numerical text input")
There should not be any further problems in this case. Use a simple text editor (e.g.,
Notepad) and save the texts in the usual way.
Section "Files with Word 2003" does not apply.
Operating system and target language from different language families
If the language of the operating system (e.g., German) does not belong to the same
language family as the target language (e.g., Hungarian), difficulties will occur with both
inputting and displaying the characters in a simple text editor (Notepad).
