This is not the fault of EndNote or Word, but the fact that
you are
opening old 2-byte Japanese Language Kit encoded files in
Unicode
compliant software. They are not at all the same. You can
convert the
text, however, from the older format (even all that garbage
text in the
Roman character set) into Unicode-based Japanese using
Cyclone.
http://free.abracod
e.com/cyclone/
It is free.
Basically you select text, copy it to the clipboard, select
the encoding
schemes you want to use in Cyclone (in your case, Japanese
Language Kit
to Unicode), process the clipboard, paste the converted text
back in. I
strongly suggest you do this on a back up.
It will work on any text on the clipboard, so presumably you
can do this
with your Word files as well.
Good luck!
