Re: Can't read Russian text of Word file

Hi Gary:

Yes, Unicode is built in to Word 2004, but you may need to install the
Cyrillic Fonts to handle Russian.

It's entirely possible that the originator has used a non-Unicode font, of
course...

Cheers

I was sent a Russian text by the author but all I can read are the few
words in Latin letters. I'm using Word 2004 with the latest updates.

The displayed font is Times New Roman.

How do I read it? Isn't Unicode built into this version? Normally I
don't have problems reading Russian Word files? Does the author need to
save it differently?

Regards,
Gary
