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
