Pasting Unicode into Word problems

[Ron]

Greetings,

I have been trying to copy text from a fld with Japanese text and  
then paste it into a Word document. The copy works fine but it pastes  
"mojibake" or junk characters into the Word document.

This can be overcome by selecting 'Paste Special' from the Edit menu  
of Word and choosing nonformatted text. But isn't there a way to send  
Word something it can handle without this extra step? My inquiring  
users want to know.

I have tried setting the clipboarddata but perhaps I'm doing  
something wrong because the results are the same. Is there a way to  
send Word something it can work with?


BTW Pages, Textwrangler, Jedit X, and Textedit work but Word and  
Appleworks do not.

Thanks
Ron
