Do you mean that you can't see the Thai alphabet or that you personally
don't read Thai?

I cannot see the thai alphabet.
Text looks like this: à¾×èÃãËéÃÙéÇèÒàÃ×èÃÃÒÂØÖ§¡Ó˹´¹Ñé¹ ÇèÒ¨Ã仵¡ÃÂÙèÀ¾ä˹

Originally, it was written in thai on the Pc at hand.
Now I have installed windows xp home edition in english and word 2000 in
english.
And then I get this problem.
May be word 2000 does not support thai??
