Whenever I transfer a regular Word Document (no special formatting, just text) from my computer to my E61, and try to load it into the DOC viewer that's part of Office, it loads nothing but a bunch of squares instead of recognizable letters and words.
If I create a new document with the editor everything works fine, but docs created using Word on the PC always produce garbled squares instead of proper English characters.
This problem also applies to any normal TXT file as well, created with Notepad, not just DOC created with Word. Any file at all that I try to load in to Document Viewer just shows up as garbled, garbled, garbled. Every time, no matter what
Does anyone know anything about this issue? Can anyone help?
Okay, I have PARTIALLY figured out what is going on. When eediting a document, I have the option to go Format>Font>Font from the menu.
On my particular E61, I have two fonts that show up in this menu:
Sans MT UniT_HKSCS_S60 and
Sans MT 936_S60
The first one I believe is some kind of Asian font (HK= Hong Kong?) and THIS is the one that the document program used by default, when loading in a PC-created text file (either txt or doc). That font makes everything show up as squares and other garbled characters instead of proper English ones.
If you highlight all text in the entire document (hold down Shift and use the joystick to scroll over all text, highlighting it), and then fo to Options>Format>Font>Font and then select the second Font listed (936) and then return to the document, it will all appear as it is supposed to, in English as originally written!!!
Now the trick I am trying to figure out is, getting it to use the English font as the default every time I open an existing computer-created file, instead of the weird square-HK one. If I create a brand new document, it uses English fine as the default. But a pc-made one always causes it to use HK. If I could just delete that font from my phone altogether that would be fine too.
Anyone have any advice from this point?
when i use times new roman font it comes as squares instead of english characters , but there is no problem using verdana font , i get proper english characters, try it and let me know
cheers
