Cyrillic into Mac Office 98

[Bruno Aeschbacher]

?????? !

There seems to be a specific problem with the upgrade from Win95 to Win98.
It concerns as well Greek as Russian fonts. I haven't upgraded and
investigated yet, but will do so soon, and stored the following address for
further information :

Maybe it helps.

Objet: Cyrillic into Mac Office 98


Pryvit -

Has anyone experienced problems importing Cyrillic documents created in
older versions of Microsoft Word into the latest Mac Office 98?

All my old documents open as garbage!
Oddly, if I open those same documents in the venerable SimpleText, they're
completely readable.
I can then copy and paste the text into a new Word 98 document and save,
and all is well.
However, this is not exactly an elegant approach.

It seems that Word 98 is converting 2-byte text into 1-byte text.

Any suggestions?
