Hi list,

At times I deal with text data that are in Chinese and Japanese
characters.  These commonly are lost in SPSS but readable in Excel.  Is
there some format that I can use so that characters are retained in the
SPSS database and these can be exported to/imported from Excel with no
loss of information?

Any info or places to read up on the subject would be useful.

Thanks.
Arthur
