NOTE: This article discusses complex scripts functionality. Complex scripts functionality is available when you use the Office Language Settings tool to enable a language, such as Arabic or Hebrew, that requires this functionality. For more information about multilingual features, click Microsoft your Office product 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.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Start Arabic or Hebrew Access 2000.
 * 2) Open the sample database Northwind.mdb.
 * 3) In the Database window, click Reports under Objects, and then click to select the "Alphabetical List of Products" report.
 * 4) On the File menu, click Export.
 * 5) In the Export Report dialog box, click HTML documents in the Save as type list, click to select the Autostart check box, and then click Save.
 * 6) In the HTML Output Options dialog box, enter Nwindtem.htm, and then click OK.

Note that after the HTML file is created, it opens automatically.
 * 1) Click the navigation links "Next" or "Last" at the bottom of the page.

Note that the appropriate page is not loaded.
