I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I thought I should 

report it; it's about some irregularities with Arial on Leopard.

Did you try to save the document without formatting (no tables for 

examples) and then open it in Word? 



When I activate the Thai keyboard and start writing Thai in NWP, then 

save the document as RTF and open it in Word 2008 (Mac) everything 

seems to be OK, even Thai and Latin characters side by side are 

rendered correctly in Word 2008 for the Mac.
