      Editing a document in Word and Firefox fails if the page title contains non-english page titles - WebDav launcher does not support nonenglish symbols in URL.

      Examples include Korean or Russian page titles.

      2. Create a new page with the following title: 
        소스 보기
      3. Save the changes
      4. Now use the option Edit in Word via Tools >> Edit in Word
