Mac MS Word 98 and Russian

[Greg Thomson]

There is a bug in Mac Word 98 when dealing with Russian text. It is
possible to type Russian text normally, but the next time the file is
opened, all of the Russian characters will be converted into
underscores (interestingly, it the Mac file is reopened in Windows
before being reopened on a Mac, this problem does not occur). The
same happens if Russian text is pasted into an open Word 98 file from
the clipboard, or if a Mac MS Word 5.1 file with Russian text is
opened in Mac MS Word 98. All of the Russian characters are
irreversibly changed to  underscores.

Does anyone know a solution for this bug?
