E-mails in Arabic

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have a users who spends a lot of time working in Arabic. #He has arabic installed on his machine. He can send and receive e-mail in arabic in IBM Notes. He can write an e-mail in arabic from the Notes client.

He can write create a word document in Arabic.

BUT When he tried to cut and paste the arabic text from Word to a Notes the characters are converted to goobledy-gook! When copiying and pasting to other media (this forum for example) the text remains arabic.

Example 1: - Text typed into Notes:

شركة ذات مسؤولية محدودة

Example 2: Text Typed into Word:

شركة ذات مسؤولية محدودة

Example 3: Same Text copied from Word and Pasted into Notes:

ÔÑßÉ ÐÇÊ ãÓÄæáíÉ ãÍÏæÏÉ

Any thoughts?

Many thanks

Subject: Copy past to different email client

Many thanks for the suggestion.

The user is able to copy from word and paste into Gail and this works fine. He then e-mails himself to his Notes mail and the e-mail correctly displays in the Notes Client.!

Subject: Test other email / webmail clients

Just a suggestion: Test the same way in other email / webmail clients to ensure whether or not the issue lies with the font used in Word. Perhaps try another font which support Arabic in Word.
