Word allows editing and display of multilingual text across localized versions of Word. For example, you can search by a Greek authors name in the Find File dialog in Word.
Word correctly displays text created in localized versions of Word if you have the appropriate fonts on your system. So you can open and view a Japanese document in US Word. Note that this applies to all localized versions except bi-directional versions like Hebrew and Arabic.
You can now copy Greek or Cyrillic or any Pan European text from US Word and paste it into a Microsoft Excel worksheet. Additionally, you can copy and paste Unicode text into edit controls in dialogs such as Find and Replace.
You can now specify a language to base the sorting order of text in your document. For example, a Hungarian double letter such as "cz" sorts correctly in US Word when you set the sorting language to Hungarian.
You can easily access and use all 652 characters in Pan European languages by changing the font subset in the Insert Symbol dialog. For example, switching the subset to Cyrillic for the WGL4 version of Times New Roman gives you all the Russian characters in the dialog.
