Apple Cyrillic fonts and Microsoft Office 98

[Robert DeLossa]

Do you have Cyrillic support installed on your lab machines? It could be
that you do not have the correct keyboards/support for the font switching.
I have exactly what you describe ('98, system 8.1), with Cyrillic, Hebrew,
and Arabic support; Word '98 senses all three and switches correctly (with
the problem of a character that doesn't display, as I indicated in an
earlier post).
