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

If Word 2002 reads them okay, then it's because the WP Typographic Symbols
font is installed on the Word 2002 machine.

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

This is an indication that the document originated in WordPerfect and

the WP Typographic Symbols font was used for the quotation marks and

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
