Solve Greek And Latin character Problem in MS Office

You might have seen some characters in MS Word getting printed out as little square boxes?such characters include Greek symbols and such. This happens on printers that don?t support Unicode characters. Here?s a hack to make those gammas and lambdas print out properly.

Navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word

\Options

Here, the ?11.0? is for Office 2003 . It?s 10.0 for Office XP and 9.0 for Office 2000



Create a new String value (or modify the existing value) called NoWideTextPrinting. Set it to 1 to enable the interesting characters. The default is 0.



This is for win xp. You need to restart the computer for the change/effect to take place. Back up your registry before you do it(click here)
