For more information about multilingual features, click Microsoft <I BRACKET="YES">your Office product</I> Help on the Help menu, type multilingual features in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topics that are returned.

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

SYMPTOMS

After you create an HTML document in BiDi UI, navigation links at the bottom of each page are not functional.

CAUSE

The template, Nwindtem.htm, is created with the English 1252 code page. When the pages are created in BiDi UI, the string for "Page#" is localized, which results in the problem because the code pages do not match.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, follow these steps:
  1. Open the HTML document.
  2. Right-click anywhere on the document, and then click View Source on the shortcut menu.
  3. In the HTML source, locate the META tag and look for the "charset" attribute.
  4. Set the charset attribute to "Windows-1255" or "Windows-1256" for Hebrew or Arabic, respectively.
