Can't Paste Foreign Language Characters from Word to PP

I have Office 2004 for Mac. I need to copy text from Word that has foreign language accents and characters in it and paste it into PowerPoint. The font is Arial in both programs. The accents and characters look fine in Word, but become gibberish in PP. For example, letters with umlaut accent marks. I can edit the PP file and replace the gibberish with the correct symbol, but I don't have time to do that. Please help! And if I need to somehow acquire a new font, will you please tell me exactly how to do that?
Thanks!

In PPt try using Edit> Paste Special - Unformatted Text. You may still have
to do some reformatting but the characters should be accurate.
