Frequently I type in Russian or Greek. In previous versions of WordPerfect this was quite easy, especially since I also have a really good spell check.

However, in the last few years, I have not been able to use WordPerfect to type Russian or Greek. I do not know if the problem is with WordPerfect or Windows 2000. Instead of getting the proper letters, I get accented Latin letters. In order for me to type in either Russian or Greek, I have to use the alternative word processor and then copy it into WordPerfect. I can also use WordPad, but not WordPerfect.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

What happens if you manually change the font of the ‘accented Latin’ to WPCyrillicA or WPGreekHelvetica ? Or select the font before starting to type?

IOW, I suspect that WP left out a step from the old days, when choosing the language keyboard option also selected a matching font.

I think that you hit it right on the head. It used to be that when I typed in Russian, I would see Russian letters in reveal codes. Now I don’t. I have not checked out the spell checker.

Another problem with this is that when I send the document to somebody else, they will not be able to read it. That is bad!
