Converting english characters to polish
I have a polish text written with english characters. But i want to write the text with original characters. How can i do that? MS Word version that i have does not support this feature.
For example, (i have) dzieki => (i want) dzięki

I'm not sure whether you are trying to automatically convert an existing text, so that "dziekuje" is changed to "dziękuję" or be able to type "dziękuję" yourself.
In the former case, I think you can run the text through the spellchecker; the replacement it will suggest should be ok most of the time.
In the latter case you need to install Polish keyboard mapping. Find regional settings in the control panel, go to languages->details. Click "add", select "Polish" with the layout "Polish (programmers). Now use right alt + letter to get:
a -> ą
c -> ć
e -> ę
o -> ó
l -> ł
s -> ś
z -> ż
x -> ź
Good luck

MS Word offers a range of support services for different languages, such as Polish. Open a new, blank document, go to the [?] prompt at the top right hand corner of the screen & click. This will open the Word Help function. Type in the phrase Language Support & you will see a number of suggestions. Go to < Enable keyboard layouts for different languages > and follow instructions to have Polish as a second language on your keyboard & screen.
