Illustrator CS2 and Japanese Font

I need a little help. I have been sent a word Doc with a name in Japanese. The font is MS - comes with the system. I tried to copy and past the type to illustrator and use the same font, but I can't get Japanese to show up. Just weird English punctuation. I know it must not be hard, but I haven't dealt with this before. In the mean time I've exported the doc to a pdf and opened in photoshop and saved as a tif file. Would like to be able to outline the font.

Thank you

Ah-ha - I was able to export the pdf as an encapsulated postscript and open in illustrator!
