When you enter this word in the input field, you press save and come back, does it remain correct, or does it happen only with print preview and real print? If it's with preview and printing, the issue comes from the codepage/character set associated to the device type of the printer (SPAD transaction).

The device type codepage indicates what characters the printer is able to print. If a character is not contained in that codepage, then SAP replaces it with #.

Solution:

1) Either enter a Polish-compatible codepage (latin 2, maybe 1404)

2) or enter a Unicode codepage, and use Unicode fonts (define one or more if needed, see [Note 812821 - Cascading Font settings|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/812821] and [Note 906031 - Information about cascading fonts device types|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/906031])

Fine. If it's solved, could you please close the thread (note: it's no use posting an extra comment to close it, by the way)
