Hi Harry,

Unicode *is* what Windows and Word normally understand.

Are the characters in the mail cyrillic? Then it shouldn't be a problem to copy
the text into Word.

If you see weird latin letters instead, your mail program used the wrong code
page. You might figure it out from the mail's header ("Content Type:"), say
KOI8-R, Cyrillic (Windows) or whatever, and set your mail reader to that code
page.
Once you can read the text in your mail program, you can copy it to Word.

Regards,
Klaus

Hi,

I know this is the wrong forum, but I don't know where else to turn for
assistance. If you can please answer my question or direct me to a better
resource, I will be grateful.

A friend received a Hotmail e-mail with the Russian text written in Unicode.
Is there some way (using MS Word or other means) where the Unicode can be
converted to something that Windows normally understands? It will probably
result in Cyrillic text afterwards rather than Unicode.

I don't know much about this stuff, and I am just trying to help a friend.

Thank you for any and all assistance.

Regards,
HS
