The only way I know of to get the WP Typographical Symbols font is to
install it from WordPerfect. It would be more productive to substitute the
correct characters in the default paragraph font.

Hi, that link does not explain how to get and install the WP typographical
fonts for Word 2003? How do I do that? thanks, JF

Thanks. I read that but it does not explain why Word 2002 reads these

ok,
and
2003 does not? Also some of the text that is translated into @@ for

quote
marks was typed in Word 2001 or 2002?? thanks, JF

Hi, I have just switched from MS Word 2002 to Word 2003, and Word

2003
brings
in documents from 2002 and automatically changes some characters

such
as
quote marks to @ and odd A symbols and apostrophes to = marks. How

do
I
get
MS Word 2003 to bring in 2002 documents without these odd

characters?
(I
use
Times Roman fonts) Thanks, JF
