Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / May 2008Converting Asian word doc
I wrote a document on a Chinese Windows PC, and when I open it in Word for Mac 2004, the 12-pt text is condensed and the right margin is huge. I found a reference online for changing "character units" but it was for a PC. > I wrote a document on a Chinese Windows PC, and when I open it in Word for > Mac 2004, the 12-pt text is condensed and the right margin is huge.

The question is: how do I get it to look like the font size and margins and line spacing that are set? The whole doc is shrunk to about 85% when I look at the Page Layout View and when I print it. >> I wrote a document on a Chinese Windows PC, and when I open it in Word for >> Mac 2004, the 12-pt text is condensed and the right margin is huge.

Press Command-Shift-4, then press the space bar and click the document window. Then upload the resulting picture file to http://imageshack.us, and post the URL to the uploaded image here.

Open the Textedit preferences panel, select "plain text" there. Open a new blank document in Textedit. Paste the copied text in. If it looks good to you, open a new blank Word document and copy the text from Textedit into it. I do this with Japanese and it works fine. SignatureThank you and have a nice day. Thanks so much. That worked. I had tried saving it as an rtf and a txt. Here's another question. Where does information that condensed it reside? I tried leaving out the last paragraph mark. Does it reside in every paragraph mark? >I'd start with the Word document loaded. Copy all the text. Open >Textedit.

Does it reside in every paragraph > mark? I assume it's either a font or a paragraph style. Far be it for me to get into the minutiae of Word madness. I now use Apple's Pages exclusively. I assume you've used Word a lot and so I recommend you stay with what you know. But many years back I had endless corruption with Word whenever I typed in Japanese or jungled Japanese text. Though Word was a thoroughly unicode-savvy program, it didn't seem to know that and so corrupted a number of files, permanently where they couldn't even be opened in another program. Since then we've changed operating systems (OS9 to OSX) and Word has been thouroughly re-written, but still I'm skiddish. If I have any Japanese it is coming out of Word as fast as possible. >> I'd start with the Word document loaded. Copy all the text. Open >> Textedit.
