<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I may not be the best person to answer this. I hope someone with more know-how will. Also, I don't use Outlook anymore -- too unsafe.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I believe that where it deals with fonts and encoding in the configurations you need to assign a suitable font to UTF-8 or to Unicode encoding. Since you have Windows XP you should also have the font Arial Unicode MS. That one would be ideal in that it contains all necessary IPA characters (which I used in this case) and also the characters of many non-Roman scripts. Some other general (non-language-specific) Unicode fonts will do as well.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">If for some reason it doesn't work (yet) and you feel you really need to get the information, I suggest you go the low-tech route: copy the text and paste it into a word document, then highlight it and assign one of the said Unicode fonts to it.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Best of luck, and many, many thanks for all your contributions and support!</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
