Hi,



I have a Word text with multiple combining diacritics over Cyrillic letters (like ӯ а́ ӗ). I need to access every diacritic to make it appear in a different font without changing the font of the letters it appears over.

Find & Replace dialogue doesn't do squat treating combinations as single characters. But if you try to replace them en masse like [ӯ а́ ӗ] then it'll go for base characters, ignoring letters with diacritics altogether.

Is there a workaround to help with this mess? And if there isn't, do you know of any other rtf/doc(x) compatible software that can do the trick?

In such situations, your Find expression has to include both characters used for the combining diacritics - and in the correct order.

How is this an answer to my question?

Presumably, your diacritics are in one font and the letters in another. Inserting both characters into the Find box, with ^& as the Replace expression, and choosing whatever font both should be in for the replacement will enable you to have both in the same font.

Forget it. Hopefully someone with a bit more sense will turn up...

I suggest you learn a little more circumspection with your posting. Attitudes such as come across in your last post are liable to see no-one inclined to offer any help - or even lead to you being banned from this site...
