When the text fields are written with a non-Latin alphabet it is not possible to use the dbf-file because that file format does not support UTF-16. The work-around is to copy from ArcMap to Excelwhich in ArcMap 9.3.1 was possible to do with keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + A. In ArcMap 10.1 these keyboard shortcuts do not work in the Attribute table and therefore the menus must be used.
