MailMerge with Unicode?

  • Hi,

    when performing a mail merge "Contents.StringValue" is defined as normal string.

    Is it possible to use the mail merge feature with unicode characters?

    Because "Contents" does not offer something like "WideStringValue" all unicode characters are displayed as "?" in the text after a mail merge.

    Currently we did not do an update to V5 because this would mean a very large amount of work for the project. Would you recommend updating to V5 when using pure unicode (maybe the migration work is easier and not so time consuming then developing "workarounds" in V4?)

    Ciao,
    Ralf

    Hi,

    upgrading is not so much work anymore. V5 offers almost all the procedures V4 had. Only in case you use PLine and PAttr pointers directly code must be changed.

    And, V5 MailMerge supports unicode.
