Greetings, all. I was about to buy FM after purposely holding off to get the latest and greatest version, but thought maybe better download the "FM 7 Tryout" version just to be sure. Problem: 20 translation manuscripts authored in Word chock full of tens of thousands of "Latin Extended Additional" Sanskrit romanization diacritic composite glyphs. ALL of them got dropped on attempting to import into FM. Is this for real? FM still not Unicode compatible? Word directly to Acrobat works fine, even when I add in the Chinese characters, but as soon as the file gets at all complex in style structure, linked text boxes full of Chinese, subdocuments, etc., the Word files self-corrupt and become unusable. Anybody know of some solid book creation software that will handle a problem like this? Any prognosis on when FM gets Unicode-level enlightenment? I'm really distraught and at a loss as for what the heck to do! Thanks for looking at this. Dharmamitra
