from Alison Sommer <[log in to unmask]> Subject: issues with old word files containing Cyrillic Date: January 9, 2012 3:15:07 PM EST Do any of you have experience retrieving Cyrillic text from very old Word documents? One of my faculty has a number of files form the mid-90s which are hard enough to open at all, but when she does get them open any of the Russian text is junk and the normal tricks of switching to supported fonts doesn't help. We have tried Word 2004, 2008, and 2011, and text edit on a few Macs. My Windows 7 PC was unwilling to open the files at all. She is quite distressed that she cannot retrieve her scholarship. Thank you in advance.
