    Hello,

        I would like to know if the collating order used by Word may be
    tailored by the user to sort properly letters using diacritics in a
    language not appearing in the list of languages by Word. A simple sort
    by character number will obviously not work.

        I have the same question for MS SQL Server 2000...

        Finally, I would like to know if it is possible for a user to add
    an additional language to the ones appearing in the Windows regional and
    language options, so as to assign to it, for instance, some keyboard
    layouts.
       
        Many thanks,

    Patrick Andries

    P.-S. : Do Word, SQL Server 2000 and the Regional and Language options
    window support all Unicode 4.0 associated languages as far as proper
    sorting and addition of keyboards are concerned ? If not, when will
    these products do so ?
