How does MS Word populate the Symbol Field
MS Word populates the symbols fields based on settings. What are these
settings. I need to make a friends settings the same as mine so that we view and print a document exactly the same. My situation: A buddy of mine and I both are using MS Word 2002. When he opens my document, he cannot view a certain symbol. I need him to view and print the document exactly as it appears for me. When I go into the settings (on his pc) to locate the symbol, it doesn't even appear on his list. I thought this might have been a Language Settings problem, so I adjusted his language to be the same as mine, but to no avail. Can anyone solve, or even offer a "work around" solution? |

How does MS Word populate the Symbol Field
It would appear that you are using a font (or version of a font) that he
does not have installed. If his system is substituting a different font, it may not contain the symbols you're using. -- Suzanne S.
