Mac MS Word 98 and Russian

[Neil Bermel]

I have had similar problems with converting and pasting text into
Word 98 for Mac.  What often works is the following "undocumented
feature" of Word 98:  Select the text, pull down the font menu, THEN
hold down the option and command keys while choosing the font.
This often converts garbage characters (in Russian and Czech) to
Cyrillic/accented Latin.  (This also works in AppleWorks, where it
*is* documented.)
