how do I get my microsoft word for mac 2011 to recognize thai. I had a document sent to me in word with english and with Thai. The english printed out okay but the thai just had little squares. Under preferences for my mac I have thai as a second language. My windows computer, after checking thai for windows, had thai showing up in word.

thanks in advance

Language settings are not relevant, you need to install the fonts (on the dvd additional packages)

Then just select all text and change the tont to a native one Arial or somethings.

M$ has also its own fonts comming with office to ensure the system is perfectly messed up the m$ way (better avoid that)
