Re: "change case" not working for Unicode characters



Hi Ramesh:

I think that's not a bug (well, it may be a bug, but in the font, not
Word...).

I believe that if the font you are using does not contain upper-case
characters for those characters, or if the font is not correctly encoded to
indicate the upper-case variants, then Change Case will have no effect, and
thus, so will Small Caps.

I don't know enough about those characters: do they actually HAVE upper-case
variants?

Regards
