Make sure that all devices and program are using the same system for coding Hebrew, and that both devices have compatible Hebrew fonts installed. The gibberish means they weren’t using the same system (as when a unicode document gets downloaded into the older ASCII standard), or that the Hebrew support hadn’t been activated.
Assuming that you’re trying to view the file in Windows, try these instructions from Microsoft:
1) Open Region and Language by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Clock, Language, and Region, and then clicking Region and Language.
2) Click the Administrative tab, and then, under Language for non-Unicode programs, click Change system locale. If you’re prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
3) Select the language, and then click OK.
To restart your computer, click Restart now.
Let us know how it goes
If you have an idea of what it said you can search and replace letter by letter. If it is not private and you post it here, perhaps I can help.
The Palm used Windows-1255 encoding. Your sample translates to ?.?.?????. You need to convert it to UTF-8 or Unicode.
An easy way to follow through with Dash®’s advice is to change the file name to .html and to the top of the page add the following :
<META charset=windows-1255 >
Copy it from the html file and paste in into a new .txt file. Then go to SaveAs and choose UTF-8 in the ANSI type box.
The backup, which has the name of ~001WRD.doc or something like that is from the autosave. If you don’t close the file normally it can get it from there.
