When I add a table into word, the Chinese characters in the table can NOT be displayed correctly

I test the Word 2003 and Word 2000 and Word 97,it all can not work.

The Vi is simple,I just use New Report(Word type) then Add Tables into the Word.

The Chinese characters not in the table,can be displayed ok.
thank you.

Hi fansimo,

I believe the problem here is that you need to write to the Microsoft Word report using Unicode. If Chinese characters are displayed ok in LabVIEW, then your computer is set to write Chinese characters in non-Unicode format. This is because LabVIEW currently does not support Unicode. However, LabVIEW 6.0 and later on Windows 2000/XP does work with multi-byte characters if you use an Input Method Editor (IME).

In general, LabVIEW supports single and double byte characters, but it does not support bidirectional scripts (such as Arabic or Hebrew). If you want to display text in multi-byte character sets (such as Japanese, Chinese, or Korean) in LabVIEW, you only need an operating system of the appropriate language or an MBCS-enabled operating sys
tem with an IME for the corresponding language. Also, there are several commercially available language kits that you can add on to the operating system.

Below are some documents explaining language support and Unicode in LabVIEW:
