I have a Windows Vista Japanese machine with MS Office 2007 installed. I have a Windows application that displays multilingual data. When I copy Japanese charatcers from the application and paste into MS Word/ Excel garbage characters appear. This problem doesn't occur when pasting from Word into the application.

Also this problem does not replicate on any other OS or in any other language either.

Thanks in advance for your help!

From the MS Word file into which you want to copy the text, click on the MS icon and at the bottom of the screen select: Word Options.
From the drop-down menu, select Advanced, and at the very bottom of the screen, select Web Options, and then Encoding. Try changing some of the settings in the "Save this document as" menu, i.e. try selecting another language setting for documents, to see if that makes the difference. There are 4 different types of Japanese language options to choose from.

If that doesn't help, it's a real long shot, but try this:
From the MS Word file into which you want to copy the text, click on the MS icon and at the bottom of the screen select: Word Options.
From the drop-down menu, select Advanced, and then Cut, Copy, Paste.
Go to the following 4 boxes and select: Match Destination Format:
1. Pasting within the same document, 2. Pasting between documents, 3. Pasting between documents when style definitions conflict, and 4. Pasting from other programs.
Click: OK
