Word for Mac

[K M Harkness]

I'm late getting caught up here, but hopefully I can help.  I've found that if you make sure to set the language of your document to Russian (or the part of the document that is in Russian, just select the paragraphs) under Tools > Language, I don't get the keyboard "bounce" problem in Word.

You may still confuse Word if you are working in a multi-language document, but in my experience it's pretty stable and if not, a simple "splat" + spacebar works to change the keyboard, as has been pointed out.

Hope that helps!
