Mail Merge with foreign right-to-left language

[wcsdropout]

I have Windows XP with Microsoft Office 2000 Professional. I installed
Hebrew language support and am using a Yiddish keyboard. I have an Excel
spreadsheet with vocabulary words -- 1 column English and 1 Yiddish, and am
trying to print out the Yiddish Words to Microsoft Word "labels" using Mail
Merge. However, whenever I try to merge them, I get "????" in all the
fields. I have tried changing all my column headers to English language, but
that doesn't help.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix the problem, or what
newsgroup I should be posting to.
