Thank you very much for your ideas!

Best regards,

Tanja

Perhaps the easier approach -- if this is a one-time job -- is to ask the sender to reformat that document in PDF and send that, and thus the original Persian (Dari) numerals will appear clearly.

Hope this helps.

Persian numerals Aug 16, 2010

With XP and newer systems you can also choose to have the numerals displayed in the Persian style. You can select this under Regional and Language Options in Control Panel.
