Thanks Didier, and thanks Don!

To clarify: the editor needs this on his machine for professional editing
purposes, typically for English language book manuscripts in the area of
East Asian studies, with some Chinese, Japanese and Korean -- in the index
or in the main text. I believe he also does the entire layout, so the
typefaces need to look perfect.  ... There is nothing that does the job for
Windows '97 (which he has)?
Thanks again! I'll pass the info along.

Frank
