I think you can take it that Deborah would not have written what she
did if she had not reliable information that the applications in
Office 2004 were _fully_ Unicode compatible. If you can input
polytonic Greek and Lao from Unicode keyboard layouts, as she
suggests you now can, since if one Unicode input is possible then so
are all, then you can take it that your pessimism is totally
ill-founded.
I cannot imagine why she would have posted the above unless it were
significant and you'd do best not to waste people's time speculating
on a topic about which Deborah and others have solid information and
you apparently have none.
