Here is a workaround:  it is inconvenient, but it works.  And in the end
you only need to use one version of Word.

1) Fire up WordPad
2) Open the plain text file with Cyrillic.
3) Edit->Select All
4) Format->Font ; under Script select Cyrillic
5) Save the file as a Word document
6) Fire up Word
7) Open the file saved in step 5
