Can't paste Cyrillic into Lyrics

2005-11-03 10:57 pm

I can type Cyrillic directly into the Lyrics, once I've gone through page setup and modified the staff lyric to use Cyrillic script.

However, when I try to copy Cyrillic text from MS word into the Lyrics window, all of the characters turn into question marks (for example,???-??

-???). A friend of mine who uses NWC is able to paste Cyrillic in from MS Word with no problems. Any ideas why I can't?

G'day John,
my best guess would be unicode in Word - NWC doesn't support it.

For other interesting discussions re fonts and Cyrillic in particular check out:

2nd best guess (silly question I'm sure but it must be asked) you have set the correct lyric font in page setup?
