I have little first-hand experience with the programs involved, as I have
not upgraded to System 8 and use Word 98 only when I have no other coice,
but could it be that you  have at some time defined Word 98 as Cyrillic
with the Cyrillic Language Register program? In that case, it seems, the
program will still show menus in English, but will muster whatever
WorldScript-friendliness it has, regardless of the setting of the Text
control panel.
