Morton,
Sorry to take so long reply - I was hoping someone who really knows the
answer might reply. I am not sure if this is the answer:
You can adjust the Bibliographic database properties to select the database
character set.
To do this open the 'Data Sources' panel (F4) Select the Bibliography Data
Source and right-click with the mouse to get the context menu.
Select 'Edit Database File'. Click on the 'Table' icon on the Left and it
should then show the 'biblio' table. Select 'biblio' and right click for the
context menu. Select Database->Properties. The 'Additional Properties' Tab
has 'Character Set' selection where you can select Cyrillic or unicode (UTF-7
or UTF-8)
I tested it with Cyrillic and UTF-8 and was able to paste in russian text to
the bibliographic database.
I hope this helps.
