I just bought a Penpower Super ScanEye translater, which scans Chinese characters for direct translation on the device or for storage on the computer. All works fine when I translate directly, and also when I input it onth the computer using the provided program. But, as soon as I try to copy anything into MSWord, it turns to gibberish. I know it must be a system setting (somehow) although I don’t know where to start looking.
I use my computer constantly to type Chinese (using MSWord) without a hitch. I also have all the neccesary Chinese IME’s installed. Furthermore I’ve changed the non-unicode reading language to Chinese. Still getting gibberish.
I do have another solution – going onto a website to correct corrupt emails works to get the gibberish into readable characters, but it takes a while, and I’m sure I should be able to get it right on my computer.
If anyone has any suggestions, let me hear from you, please!
