Paul,

Thanks for your mail. Mac Excel X supports Mac Roman characters and, if
registered as Japanese or when using Japanese Excel X, Mac Japanese
characters.

Russian/Cyrillic characters won't display correctly as you have seen. I
don't know of any work around. However, we are aware of customer interest in
expanding the characters supported by Mac Office applications and are
looking into it.

BTW, registration of Excel (or Word...) for Japanese only seems to be
available for people using the US version of Office...
