I'm trying to print a word document that has many Microsoft

symbols I entered in the document.

It's not clear from your post, but is the entire equation replaced with a
single question mark, or are certain symbols within each equation being
replaced with individual question marks? If the latter, it's a font issue.
Either you have a corrupted Symbol font, or your font specification in
Equation Editor is incorrect. With Equation Editor open, click on Define in
the Style menu. These 3 styles must be set to Symbol font: Symbol, L.C.
Greek, U.C. Greek.

If each equation is being replaced with a single question mark, it's most
likely a printer driver problem. Make sure you have the latest printer
driver from the printer manufacturer's web site.

I'm assuming the equations look fine on the monitor, since you specified the
problem occurs when you print them.
