    I forgot that we could not send attachments to the list. Here is the table cut & pasted, which obliterates some of the niceties of the table. I hope each row survives transmission over the wire. In each row, the fields are: Indic Transliterator Char, Visual Basic Unicode Code, TNR Character, TNR Code [TNR = "TimesNewRoman"] I've given the generic forms for those diacritic characters not present in TNR. (Maybe in the next iteration of Word?) Many of the IndicTranslit characters have become nonsense here, but they're superfluous anyway.  jlf
