Visio and display of Cyrillic words (Russian)

[Archade]

Hi all,



I am having a problem trying to insert some Russian translations into Visio.
Now this is not really the problem but rather when leaving Visio to return to
Word, the Russian translation copied into the cell is displayed by question
marks(?????). If I reenter VISIO, I can read the Russian translation - I have
tried out all the options known to me at the moment, but nothing seems to
help.

Digits are displayed OK, if I replace the Russian translation with e.g. an
English or Spanish translation, then everything is OK and am able to read the
translation correctly.

Word version is Office 97 and the Visio version is Visio 2003. What am I
doing wrong?

I would be grateful for any help.

With best regards

Archade

I am able to cut & paste & see Cyryllic text from Google.ru into Visio 2003,
no problem.

Any chance you can change the font in the Word 97 document first, maybe
choose a different font and perhaps it will carry over?

Or, try pasting into Visio this way: Edit > Paste Special > Unformatted
text, then perhaps choose a font like Times New Roman and see if any Cyrllic
shows up.

Just some ideas...
