International characters are supported by both Macintosh and Windows
computers. However, some Windows programs don't support the Microsoft
international character set, so they may have problems displaying
international characters correctly. If your characters haven't transferred
correctly to a specific Windows program, follow these steps to try to transfer
international characters to any problematic Windows program:
1. On your computer, open the Notepad program.
2. On your NEO, send your text to Notepad.
3. In Notepad, select all the text, then press Ctrl-C to copy it to the Windows
clipboard.
4. Open a new file in the program that didn't accept the special characters
earlier.
5. Paste the text into a document in that program.
Copying and pasting through the clipboard usually solves the problem
because the clipboard interprets the characters correctly and transfers them
into the program.
