I can copy text messages in Skype and paste into a text editor.

But if I try to paste English text into the Skype text box, it shows
like Chinese characters :-(

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks!

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Use notepad.exe as editor.
Copying from wordprocessors like WORD, WP, etc is often 16 bit text,
and that is responsible for the mishmash.

Try and change the font type to the same one in each program.
