Description Unknown 2002-05-13 04:02:56 UTC 
Enter Chinese(TW) characters via MS new JY input 98a. Able to show the 
characters in the upper section but failed to show in the column. Only replaced 
by squares.
The problem seems can be solved by editing the column format - font type. 
Change both Chinese and English defaut font to MS standard chinese font type.

However, when saved as excel format and open with MS excel 2000, the charact 
can not display properly. After tried editing the font format, still failed to 
display correctly. Please fix otherwise can not share file with colleagues.

Using MS98se Chinese version. And IBM 600E with Pentium II notebook.

Makes no sense that this one is assigned to a mailing list. Reassigned
to default owner.

Hi Brian,
first of all you need a native chinese Win98SE version. Than you 
have to enable CJK features in OOo (Tools-Options-Language Settings-
Languages-Enable Asian Language Support). If that doesn't fix your 
problem, enable the font replacement (Tools-Options-OpenOffice.org-
Fonts) and replace Andale Sans UI with an on your system existing 
CJK-font (OO.o is not delivered with a complete CJK fontset, so you 
have to take one of the systemfonts or download one)

Bye, Oliver
