Documents typed in .odt not open properly in MS word

[nitin mathias]

Am using MS Office 2007. I got a attachement which is in the form of .odt format. i cant open it in ms office. help

[RoryOF]

.odt is the native format used by OpenOffice. If MS Office won't open it, complain to MS, or else install and use OpenOffice. This is an OpenOffice forum.

Open office supports Hindi fonts. When i type in hindi i get gaps between every word. help

When i type in hindi i get gaps between every word

Is that wrong?

[nitin mathias]

sorry not word. gap betwen every letter.

[Robert Tucker]

Have you tried with different fonts? Have you tried adjusting the spacing/kerning at Format>Character...>Position ? I read that getting this right with web pages is a considerable problem – I don't know if or how that translates to the OpenOffice display of Hindi.

does open office supports hindi fonts? This problem is only in hindi fonts

[Robert Tucker]

Generally, I think it should do but sometimes some fonts work better than others. Are letters formed with matras displaying correctly?

[nitin mathias]

here we use unicode software. This the main problem we facing. please find the solution.

[Robert Tucker]

Variation in display may be found between different Unicode fonts.

I see quite a lot of discussion regarding the problem of displaying Indic script in web browsers but considerably less regarding word-processors. You may need to elucidate more on the problems you are having.

When you make a post, at the bottom there is a tab "Upload attachment". Please see:
viewtopic.php?f=74&t=8289

Please give the names of any fonts you use to display Hindi.

This is what i get when i toe using hindi fonts.

[nitin mathias]

font which i use. font type is mangala.

[Robert Tucker]

I don't know that I can legally show the result with Mangal (despite the free downloads available) but with Lohit Devanagari I get:

[nitin mathias]

devanagari we dotn get such error.. only hindi indic IME we get such error

[Robert Tucker]

Can you not use a direct keyboard input? Have you got Hindi input enabled on your computer?

Also is this character really Mangal? Surely in Mangal the circle is not closed?
