Dear Kino,
It's me again, an IT novice for ever.
Iyanaga has lately offered me splendid assistance, and my principal hurdle
has now been cleared: Classic NW files can now be easily converted to NWPro
files. All this thanks to the droplet Iyanaga has created.
There is one headache remaining, for which he advises me to ask for your
help. The problem is that under Classic NW I often resortrd to the reverse
mode for writing Hebrew and other R>L languages. This problem has also
largely been resolved with Iyanaga's droplet. But sequences of characters
keyed-in in the reverse mode in footnotes get converted the other way round.
So when I wrote in a footnote <GFE DCBA> (that is how it looks) turns up as
<ABCD EFG>. This is not conditioned by a font I use, i.e. even in the Roman
alphabet.
Is there any cure for this headache, I wonder.
Thanks,
Takamitsu
