How do I get the overstrike field code (Eq \o) to function?
Hi, I am doing language translation. I am using equation
fields that will post dictionary look up obtained to overstrike the original language word for example Eq \o(ORIGINAL LANGUAGE, \s\up n(dictionary lookup)). This works well on my friends computer running Word 2000 (9.0.3821 SR1) (€śdictionary lookup€ť is positioned above and centered over €śORIGINAL LANGUAGE€ť). but it does not work on my computer even though I using the same version of word 2000 (9.0.3821 SR1) (I get €śORIGINAL LANGUAGE€ť €ścommer,€ť followed by a subscripted €śdictionary lookup€ť). All the words in the translation word file look like this and print like this on my computer even though they are created on my friends computer. Vice versa- language translation files created on my computer display as described above but when transferred to my friends computer they display and print perfectly as described above. My machine OS is XP professional and my friends is XP Media Center. All characters display the same on both machines but the overstrike switch ( Eq \o) seems to be ignored on my computer . Can you help? Can anyone help? What do I need to do to get it to function as the documentation says it should. WillyDee |

Can you clarify whether or not you can actually see the { EQ } field in the
document that you are displaying/printing on your machine (i.e. the ones that do not work?) The main thing I would check is whether it had something to do with my printer driver. (I have to say that even when I use the "Generic/Text printer driver" here, I don't see the problem you are seeing, but I would consider changing to a different driver if you have one installed and see if that makes any difference. It may also be worth checking/unchecking Word Tools|OPtions|Compatibility options|Use printer metrics) -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "WillyDee" wrote in message ...

I can see the { EQ } field on the computer display screen, even the one that
does not work. I can also toggle it. I checked/unchecked Word|Tools|OPtions|Compatibility options|Use printer metrics) Im thinking that there is some feature in my implimentation of word that is either turned on or off. Alternatively it could be some feature in the operating system that is either implemented or not. I wish to make clear that even when I open a file that displays and prints the results of the EQ \O (x,o) field normally on my friends computer using Word 2000 (9.0.3821 SR1).That self same file opened in the same version of Word on my computer neither displays nor prints normally. Ill get x,o not o overstrike x. Incidentally Im using a Dell Latitude and my friend a Dell Inspiron.

OK, thanks for the confirmation.
I looked again and the one way I can make this happen is to change the List Separator character in COntrol Panel|Regional Options to something other than a comma (e.g. to ";") -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "WillyDee" wrote in message ...

Thank you very very much Peter.
The list Seperator Character in Control Panel|Regional Options was set to ( : ) Ive reset it to ( , ) and now my computer both displays and prints the overstrike as my friend's does.
