------------------
Hello, all.

While I have yet to experiment with this myself, two things I was going to 
eventually try for this were:
In the course of a change to the Microsoft IME for Japanese I installed the 
Chinese ones as well and suddenly gained two new fonts, MS Song and MingLiU, 
that allowed our Chinese faculty to have students use NJ Star Communicator for 
Traditional Characters/Pinyin in Word2000 and, after changing the font to MS 
Song or Ming LiU, print from Word with no problems. (We had the "printing 
boxes" problem, but I doubt it had to do with lack of printer support for 
Unicode Fonts) Try changing text produced with NJ Star to use one of the MS 
fonts to see if it will not then open properly.
Or,
Try saving the original documents as HTML.  (This is a suggestion on the NJ 
Star page.)

I have not tried either one, as I only have Office XP on my personal laptop 
(and am a Spanish Professorin my spare time), but I will risk potentially 
looking foolish in an attempt to help.

You may also find assistance at 
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx 
in the newsgroup found under Desktop Applications - Word - Word, International 
Features
There seem to be some very sharp people who look in on the newsgroups.

I hope this is helpful.
