Filenames Have Different Characters in Word and OS/2 PSS ID Number: Q67276 Article last modified on 12-11-1990 PSS database name: W_Os2Word

OS/2

Summary:

The CODEPAGE command in the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file will determine the codepage (similar to symbol set) used to display the characters on the screen at the OS/2 prompt and in standard Presentation Manager (PM) applications. Because Microsoft Word for OS/2 is fixed at codepage 1004, it may display extended or foreign characters differently than other applications or the OS/2 prompt.

This difference will be most noticeable when you look at filenames created in Word. If a file is saved within Word with foreign characters, the characters may appear different when viewing an OS/2 directory listing.
