I don't see how anyone can help you resolve your problem unless you 
describe clearly and precisely what you're doing. Part of the problem 
may be that you're using a pre-2004 version of Word that does not 
deal properly with Unicode in combination with Tex-Edit Plus, which 
also is Unicode-dumb.  You probably don't need any editors at all to 
do what you want but if you must use editors then it would be a good 
idea to use Unicode-aware software such a TextWrangler (free), BBEdit 
8, TextEdit etc.  You haven't even told us what you mean by 
"Unicode", seemingly regarding the whole bang shoot as some sort of 
aberration.
