Printing Cyrillic

[Charlotte Douglas]

Thank you everyone for your suggestions.  In the end, this is one 
thing that worked: I highlighted the text and chose "save as" under 
file, then chose the unicode option (I had never noticed it before). 
I had no trouble printing from the unicode text.

A couple of observations:  I am using Word 2004 for Mac, Version 
11.3.5.  The procedure may be different for later iterations of Word 
for Mac, and it certainly is for the Windows version.  And I found 
two ways to set the Unicode choice, one is from the "Save As" menu, 
and the other is in Preferences.  Preferences sets it as a default 
for every time you choose Save As, the other method controls only 
that particular document.

Thanks again!

Charlotte
