Bukinist is a Code Page 1251 font, Nowadays Times, Arial, etc. are all
Unicode fonts. When you type KTO into your Bukinist text, it will be in
Unicode because that's what's built into Windows XP. So run your entire text
through a converter, such as this:

When I tried it even with the Unicode KTO, the text came out correct, the
Unicode KTO was unaffected so stayed in Unicode format.

If that one doesn't work just do a google search on CP1251 Unicode convert
Windows.

I think Windows comes with Bookman font, which is a Unicode font very
similar to Bukinist, so you can just past the converted text into Word, hit
Control-A to highlight All, and select Bookman. Providing you don't have
headings in other fonts!

MSWord 6 about six years ago. I would appreciate your help with
two problems:
