What I'm now missing is why he's sending codes for Burmese. The basic
Russian alphabet is 0400 to 044F..Are his numbers the decimal
equivalents of those hex codes? If so, how does Word know they're not
standard Unicode codes?

Am I missing something here? Why not send two or more Symbol fields
{Symbol 1053 \u}{Symbol 1050 \u}etc

Suzanne, I tried the following {SYMBOL 1053,1050,1055,1056 \u} then
replaced
the comma's with semicolon and still it sends only the first symbol to the
document.

The Help topic for the SYMBOL field says that it "Inserts a single
character
or a string of characters in the ANSI character set." Although no
examples
are given, I would suggest that you try specifying more than one, the
numbers separated by a comma (or semicolon if a comma is used as the
decimal
point), and see what happens.

I have a Russian document that has generic information. I have program
that
I
created that will write to the Russian document with specific
information
in
Russian for each instrument that we are testing and the information
needs
to
go in its each specific location within the document. The software
package
that I am using does not support the entire unicode format. It so
happens
the
Russian characters that I need are out of the range of my software
package,
there 16 bit instead of 8 bit. The bookmark is to define the specific
location for each piece of information and the field code is to send
the
decimal value of each Russian letter.

If you could explain why you're "sending symbols to a bookmark," maybe
someone could come up with a way to do what you want to do.

What command it being used by your external program to "send" the

The "\u" is for unicode, the 1092 and 1093 are just an example.
My
symbols
would be 1053, 1050, 1055 and 1056 all to be used if possible in
one
bookmark. The bookmark is used when my external program writes
data
to the
document.

Just asking: does " \u " introduce a Unicode coding? 1092 and
1093
are
part of the Myanmar (Burmese) range and are "reserved" and
should
not
be used for anything else. What is the purpose of your
bookmark?
