I am currently creating part identification labels in Word by pulling
information from various Excel spreadsheets via mail merge. I have managed
to automate this with a macro with the exception of one problem:

I have used the vrtSelectedItem command to prompt the user for an excel
sheet to make labels from. This works well until you encounter a spreadsheet
containing Russian text. This results in the data on the label being
displayed as ???????. I have tried setting the language to Russian in the
word document, but with no success. All of the other settings in windows
allow the proper display of Russian text and I'm using a unicode font in the
labels.

If anyone has a solution to this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
