I am using Framemaker 7.2 in Microsoft Office and I am trying to import chinese signs into a document but the signs looks different in the original compare to the FM document. The original document is a Word-file with format Arial Unicode MS and when I import that file it doesn't matter whether I choose to import by "Reformat Using Current Document's Formats" or by "Retain Sourse's Formatting", the signs looks different. Does anyone know how I should do it?

    FrameMaker does support Chinese (and Japanese and Korean) for years, but I am not sure how capable the Word Import is.

    Your message is unclear to me if the Chinese glyphs just look different (like: FrameMaker uses a different font) or are different (like: This seems to be Chinese but the signs are completely different).

    The first can be handled by making sure the same font is selected.

    In case of the latter: Make sure you have that Word document in RTF form, you will see far better results then. It also might make a difference if the document is saved to RTF on a Chinese or a Western system, you might want to try both if possible.

    FM 7.2 does not support Unicode. There are considerable portions of
    Arial Unicode that cannot be displayed by FM 7.2. In order to gain
    access to all the characters in the font, you have to use an application
    that fully supports Unicode. FM 8 supports Unicode, as do Word and Indesign.
