Can;t paste Russian text into Word 2010

Post by b00lean1337 »

Hello all,

When I paste Russian text into Word it shows up as weird charaters.

Outside of Wine, Everything works fine, LibreOffice has no problem.

The reason why I have to use Word 2010 is our clients demand it....

Other then not being able to copy and paste properly, I can't type in any other languange, meaning there is no
special characeters. I do not want to go to symbold and costumize keystrokes. The reason why I can't do this is because some of the people that work here know several languages. I can't expect them to remember a custom set of keys and most of the time the symbols don't work because of Alt or Alt-gr.

Is there anyway for Word to understand the Language Input from Linux?

Are you starting it with the correct LANG variable? http://wiki.winehq.org/TestingLanguages

My editors write in English, Russian, Polish, Spanish, Sometimes all at once.

Is there a way to load more then one? We write reports and a report can have up to all of those languages!

The language bar (ctfmon.exe) is not implemented in Wine. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28125

The bug report hasn't been updated in quite awhile. You should add a comment that this is still an issue and affects Office 2010.

Please try,

Copy something from this page(In russian)

http://www.kommersant.ru/doc/2176395?fp=11

Paste into Word 2010

IE:

Гражданам разрешили обжаловать итоги выборов

Pastes as

Гражданам раЕрешили обжаловать итоги выборов


Pasted into Libre

Гражданам разрешили обжаловать итоги выборов

Copied from libre into office(shows up fine)

Гражданам разрешили обжаловать итоги выборов

My editors cannot copy and paste natively into Word without getting hit with some crazy characters.
Any clue?

I can't reproduce that; text from that page shows up fine in Word 2010 on my system.

I am using 1.5.28 and have the MS core fonts installed systemwide. The only override is for riched20.

I just updated and it still doesn't work :(

Is there an install guide I can follow that will match the way you installed Office 2010?

This way I can see if I did something wrong.

What do you get, if you type "locale"? Maybe your issue is somehow related to wrong locale or uf8 vs whatever?
