My Mac is ancient so I can't check this myself; however, in the windows
version of Word, there is the ability to "Paste Special" (from the edit
menu) and then select the kind of formatting you want. It may be that
"Unicode plain text" is one of those options or perhaps "RTF" either of
which should preserve the encoding.

Well, I've tried it, and I find that I can't copy from this and paste
directly into MSWD but that I can save it in TextEdit as RTF and open that
in MSWD so that it appears correctly as Unicode. Of course Word 2004 for Mac
has Unicode capacity for Greek (but not for Hebrew) and one can type Unicode
Greek directly into a document, provided only that one has the Unicode
keyboard selected.
