Default How do I get the overstrike field code (Eq \o) to function?

Hi, I am doing language translation. I am using equation
fields that will post dictionary look up obtained to overstrike the
original language word for example Eq \o(ORIGINAL LANGUAGE, \s\up
n(dictionary lookup)). This works well on my friends computer running Word
2000 (9.0.3821 SR1) (€śdictionary lookup€ť is positioned above and centered
over €śORIGINAL LANGUAGE€ť). but it does not work on my computer even though I
using the same version of word 2000 (9.0.3821 SR1) (I get €śORIGINAL
LANGUAGE€ť €ścommer,€ť followed by a subscripted €śdictionary lookup€ť). All the
words in the translation word file look like this and print like this on my
computer even though they are created on my friends computer. Vice versa-
language translation files created on my computer display as described above
but when transferred to my friends computer they display and print perfectly
as described above. My machine OS is XP professional and my friends is XP
Media Center. All characters display the same on both machines but the
overstrike switch ( Eq \o) seems to be ignored on my computer . Can you
help? Can anyone help? What do I need to do to get it to function as the
documentation says it should.
