Anyone know how to work with "foreign" characters?
Posted: Mon Apr 17, 2006 2:15 am
I need to be able to replace all foreign* characters with their english counterparts. Anyone know how to do this?
At the moment I have a word macro which search longhand for particular ones and replaces them one at a time. But I have to keep adding to the list of foreign characters as I discover them in new documents - there must be a better way?
*Excuse my ignorance. There's a probably a better name for these. I'm talking about letters which get an accent, umlaut, grave or whatever in langiages such as french, german, spanish etc.
