I am using RichTextContol to display the text on the form. ControlSource is a binary Memo field in the table.

This method allows also to copy/paste from MS Word (at least what I tested) exactly as it is there.

If you type in Cyrillic characters into Word or Excel, pasting them in anywhere else generated all question marks. Using the CODE function in Excel is also useless since it returns the ascii number for a question mark for all characters. So not only can't I display the Cyrillic data, I can't even store it!
