Bring old InPage text into the modern world

For nearly thirty years, Urdu newspapers, digests and books have been set in InPage. That archive is enormous, and almost none of it is in Unicode. The moment you try to copy that text into Word, a website or a PDF, it collapses into unreadable Latin style symbols. InPage to Unicode conversion fixes exactly that, turning glyph based InPage text back into clean, standard Urdu you can search, edit and publish anywhere.

Who needs the reverse direction

How to convert InPage to Unicode

  1. Open your InPage document and select the text with Ctrl + A, then copy it.
  2. Switch the tool above to InPage to Unicode using the swap button.
  3. Paste the copied text into the input box.
  4. Copy the clean Unicode result, or download it as a .txt file.
Good to know: InPage encodes some letters that share a single glyph, such as the common noon ghunna. After converting a long document, give it a quick proofread so rare letters and special signs read correctly before you publish.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Why does InPage text look like random English letters?
InPage stores Urdu as glyph codes tied to its own fonts. Outside InPage those codes display as Latin style characters. Converting them to Unicode restores readable Urdu.
Will the converted Unicode work in Word and on websites?
Yes. The output is standard Unicode Urdu that works in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, websites, mobile apps and PDFs.
Can I convert a whole InPage book?
Yes, paste large blocks of text. For very long manuscripts, convert in sections and proofread, since rare ligatures can need a manual touch up.
