Dima--

A crude, but simple, solution is for your colleague to write a "macro"
that translates all the Latin letter equivalents into Cyrillic. Most
current word processors allow for preparing macros, and the process (while
a bit time consuming) only has to be done once. If your colleague's word
processor allows it, cut-copy-paste routines in creating the actual macro
will save lots of time. The source font can probably be anything, but
your colleague will have to be sure text is converted to that font before
running the macro; the destination font can also be either a cyrillic font
your colleague has available on his machine, or the "high-bit ASCII"
characters that are used in many Russian word processing programs. Good
luck!
