Albrecht,
You might try saving these Word files as HTML and then do "surgery" on
the HTML tags and see what results you get when you re-open the HTML
file with Word. Check the value of "charset" and also try inserting
dir="RTL" inside <div> and <p> tags. The disconnected-letters problem
occurs sometimes in Windows too. To solve it I open the Word file with
WordPad and save it as RTF, and then I open the RTF file in Word. If
you want, send me the file and I will give it an "extreme makeover" for
you. :-)
Regards,
Tim
