Hi, I have windows 2000 desktop version in my system. Right now I’m developing a project in Korea. The thing is, I would like to open the Korean source files which are already made in “Edit Plus” or in any editor to see what they had written. I could start coding in English only after reading the contents in those files. But I’m not able to read any contents which are there in Korean files. Can anybody tell me what kind of option should I select in order to read these files? Pls help me out. I hope you had understand my problem…right. Regards, Shri ---

maybe you don’t have the Korean fonts/files that will allow you to see, maybe you need the Korean plugin I think maybe Microsoft Word has a korean translation plugin which will translate it for you, try that ---

When I had to do a project that was in English and Thai, I had to purchase a Thai font package. That may be the same issue, I’m not sure. Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---
