This has been a problem with Microsoft since the introduction of
WorldScript.  They have stated that they do not intend to offer any
compatibility fixes.  Apple has no say in the matter.  Your only option is
to choose another word processor, such as WordPerfect (which is now
discontinued though free at http://www.corel.com ), AppleWorks (formerly
ClarisWorks; an under-rated program, in my opinion), or Nisus (although
Nisus 5.1.3, CLK 2.0, and MacOS 8.6 don't play nice together).
