With a very fascilating spirit on it, sometimes it may make some Cambodian PC user feel disappiontment as they have encountered a small problem, which can discourage people not to use Khmer Unicode, as described below. While typing document with Khmer Unicode in Office 2003, it always crash in a few minutes with a message box appeared ” Microsoft Word has countered a problem and need to be closed …. the file will be recovered….” ).
