BookBag Excel Import multilingual - how?

[iggythebrush]

Hi, I have an Excel spreadsheet (3 columns, 4000 rows) in Latin and Cyrillic script (mixed) - my collection catalogue of Russian, English and German books. The Excel file is unusable on PocketPC due to its size (the autofilter takes 2 minutes to rebuild the list every time I click on it!), but when I export to csv or txt, all the Cyrillic characters are converted to question marks, so that I cannot now export the data to BookBag or anything else - or can I?

Help!

I am not sure about this one.

Can you import the file OK? Is it just an export problem from BookBag? I was not clear on that.

Dear Shawn, thanks for your post. I cannot import the file. Even when it is saved as unicode text, with either tab or comma delimiters, BookBag on the PC cannot import the data correctly - the Cyrillic characters appear as random symbols.

I don't expect that there is anything magical we can do from this end to make the import work. My guess is that the windows versions doesn't support every character set at this time.
