Mac Word 98 allowed the necessary fonts to be embedded in the
document. However, Word 2001 has removed this feature. Also, Word
2001 was supposed to fix an egregious bug in Word 98 which caused
upper ascii charactres (most Cyrillic characters) to appear as
underlines. Incredibly, Microsoft did not fix this problem.

Warmly,
Greg
