Font Problem, TGEQA
I have a document that I created with Times New Roman on one computer, but
when I open it on another, it is gibberish. I tried it on yet another, and it opened with the font "TGEQA", but I cannot change the font back to anything else without getting gibberish. Is there any way to recover this and change the font back?

Font Problem, TGEQA
Hi Jeff,
Already looked in "Tools Options Compatibility Font substitution"? The document could be damaged. But maybe you can rescue something with the above dialog, or by searching for the strange font and replacing it with Times or something. If you get gibberish by changing the font, it's likely that Word got confused between normal (Unicode) encoding, and the special proprietary encoding used for symbol fonts. There's a macro somewhere in the MS Knowledge Base that converts from the latter to the former, and sometimes can fix things.
