MS Office 2004 / Unicode

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

I took the plunge and bought MS Office 2004 for Macintosh to see if it
would, indeed, solve the unicode problem on the Macintosh platform.  It has.
MS Word and PowerPoint both seem to work better with Unicode, including the
sharing of documents with Cyrillic and Latin characters with PC users.  I
have also switched my e-mail program to Entourage 2004 (from Apple's Mail
application.)  Entourage has allowed me to send e-mail messages with
Cyrillic in unicode without a problem to users of both Macintosh and PC with
unicode-ready e-mail programs (including Outlook, but not many of the
web-based server e-mail programs).

With best wishes to all,

Ben Rifkin
