I have a 98SE with Word2000 and when I press Ctrl/Shift I can change from
Latin to Cyrillic keyboard.

I am now trying it on an XP laptop with Woird 2002 by attaching the
cyrillic keyboard to the laptiop. The keyboard works fine but I can't
change it to type in cyrillic.

help...

I think you need to install a Windows IME for this. You might try asking in
the word.internation.features group, though.

No, IME is for East Asian languages with hyeroglyphs - Japanese,
Chinese, Korean.

Cyrillic - Russian, Ukrainian, ... - works the same way as any other
_European_ language and activated the same way as say French or Polish.

Please see step-by-step instruction for keyboard activation
in the "Typing in Russian" section of my site. That section also also
has a chapter at the end called "Finla notes" where MS Word behavior
is covered.
