Printing Cyrillic

[Charlotte Douglas]

Dear SEELANGS,

Quite often I receive a Word document in Cyrillic attached to an 
email message from Russia.  On the screen the Cyrillic looks fine, 
but when I try to print it out, it comes out in mostly ## // and !!!.

I have tried changing the fonts of the document and, under Tools, 
marking the language as Russian, but nothing helps.  The printer 
prints nonsense no matter what.

Can anyone explain exactly what is happening between the screen and 
the printer, and whether anything can be done about it?

I am currently using a PowerBook G4 Mac, with OS 10.4.10, but this 
has happened also with earlier operating systems.....

Thanks,

Charlotte Douglas
