Re: Russian text in Word

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Gary:

I can't work out which version of Word Tim is using, let alone which version
his business associates are using.

Cyrillic is built into the Unicode fonts shipped with Word 2004, and in
Unicode, the actual text font is immaterial to this problem.

On the other hand, if they are using an earlier version of Word, then your
advice is exactly what he needs.

Cheers
