Re: Foreign Language Support

Well, you didn't say anything about where you were getting the text from so
I guessed. When I select a Word in Cyrillic script here (Word 2003) and add
it to a Listbox using the code I provided, it works just fine, which
suggested you might be doing something different.

So...

Which version of Word are you using?

Is your Russian text in a regular font such as Times New Roman, or a
specialised Cyrillic font?

Can the font you're using in your Listbox display Cyrillic characters (here,
I'm just using the default font).

Does the other example I provided with the ChrW functions in it work or not?
