Diacritic characters in Translator's Workbench Thread poster: Valerijs Svincovs

Hi all! A Trados newbie here. I am using Word 2000 and Translator's Workbench version 7.5.
The problem is that, when I save and close a segment, all Latvian diacritic characters turn into diacritic characters of some other language(s). For example, the Latvian word "maiņā" turns into "maiòâ". I've read discussions about this problems on other forums, but I doubt in this case it could be solved by exporting/importing the TM, as my TM was created from scratch.

The font of the document is Arial.
This problem seems to occur randomly in certain Word files only (but every once in a while I come across this problem), the same TM works fine with many other files.
Besides, when a segment is closed, its font is changed to Times New Roman.
Looking forward for any suggestions,

So far, my investigation of styles in this document and use of Ctrl+(Spacebar) combination (which I learned today) has led to nothing. I mean, I see no visible changes after pressing it and he problem remains anyway, but I'll give it a more thorough look in the morning, as well as try to follow the instructions provided in your link.
I remember this problem used to come up randomly when we were taught Trados at school, but I don't remember what was the solution to it, if any at all.

Copy all text in Word and paste it in MS-Editor (a small program you have on the computer).
This will delete all styles and other formatting.
Now copy all the text from Editor and paste it in a new Word-file.
Compare with the original text and apply formatting. If you use the styles-function, it is quicker. This can be a lot of work, but now Trados will be working.

Perhaps there is an easier solution, but that is how I did.
Good luck!

Could you tell where this program can be found (on Windows XP)?
