Hi, thanks. I have tried to search and replace them using their ascii codes
but one of the characters, an A type symbol with a short horizontal line off
its top to the left, is not in the long ascii list. How do you find out what
the ascii code of those odd characters is? thanks, Joe

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
