Actually, I might be wrong, but I got the impression that he wants to have
a bunch of USVs as text, like "0041 0020 0042 ... " in the document. You
can't do that in Word, but I have written a function that allows me to do
it in Excel: you enter USVs in a cell, and display the corresponding
character in another cell by entering a formula in that other cell.
I suppose it would be possible to write a VBA program for Word that read
USV stings and entered the corresponding characters somewhere else in the
doc. The only problem is telling it where to look for the source USV
strings and where to enter the corresponding characters.
