Guest guest Posted April 24, 2001 Report Share Posted April 24, 2001 Dear new list members, To type and edit romanized sanskrit I use Word under Windows with John Smith's CSX+ fonts. I use a template that defines Shortcut keystrokes for the letters with diacriticals. Alt + letter for letter with diacritical underneath, Ctrl + letter for letter with diacritical on top, and a few others. This works great except for one thing. In Word it doesn't seem to be possible to enter characters defined by Shortcut keystrokes in either "find" or "replace" commands. Does anyone know of a way to do this in Word. Perhaps someone has written a Word macro to do this or maybe there is some add-on multi-language software that adds this capability? If this was possible it would make editting Sanskrit much easier in Word (global replacements etc.) and also since in the Word replace command you can say "replace character x in font y with character z in font q" it would make changing a document with sanskrit in one font to another font fairly trivial. Is this a problem in word processors on other platforms such as the Mac or Unix. How do other members edit romanized sanskrit documents? Harry Spier 371 Brickman Rd.
