Which version of /Word/ are you using? Are you using the English language
versions of Windows and Office/Word in both cases? Are you specifying a
particular method to connect tot he data source (e.g. DD, OLEDB, ODBC? - if
you are not aware of doing so, don't worry, just tell us the version of
Word). Also, not sure if this is relevant, but if you are using Word
2002/2003, have you enabled Chinese language features in Office on both
machines?

I'm doing a Mail Merge using an Excel Spreadsheet as the Data source. The
spreadsheet contains English and Chinese Names and addresses.

When Merged, the English displays correctly, the Chinese displays as
'?????'

The Chinese displays correctly in the Excel file.

This problem is exhibited on a Win2000 system but works correctly on
another
machine under XP using the same Template / Data set.

Is this a known issue or do i have a configuration problem on the Win2000
system?
