I have used unicode nepali converter and find it very useful. But the nepali text coverted from this can not be correctly pasted into MS word.

Please suggest how it can be done.

Gandhiv-ji,

To use the Unicode Nepali produced from the converter in MS Word, you
will need to take a few extra steps. Microsoft Office products (Word,
Excel, Powerpoint, etc.) do support Unicode but apparently, it is not
enabled by default. To enable unicode for MS Office applications,
please take the following steps:

1. Click Start on your screen
2. Choose Microsoft Office Tools from the list of available programs.
Then choose Language Settings.
3. You need to add a language that uses the Devanagari script. If
available, choose Nepali, if not you may choose Sanskrit, Hindi or any
other compatible language.
4. Close all your MS Office applications and start again.


The above procedure should make sure that everything works smoothly.
We have also heard that changing the font to "Arial Unicode MS" also
displays the Unicode characters. You might want to give that a try if
the above procedure does not work.

Warm Regards,
Sujan
