Why can't I paste Chinese characters to Word? I have a strange problem with Word, every time I paste Chinese characters into Word, it looks like this:



However, I have no problem pasting Chinese characters to Pages(both 09 and 13 versions are OK), what should I do?
You might need to install some fonts in order to make Word able to display those characters. This is a common problem with Asian languages - for example it is almost impossible to get Excel to show Thai fonts, although if you install Thai fonts on the system, Word will use them.

You also did not specify which version of MS Office you are running - older versions were even worse than recent versions.
