Yes this does apply. but I did not do this=
SYMPTOMS
When you format text with a symbol font, such as Wingdings, and then change
to a non-symbol font such as Times New Roman, the text is replaced with box
characters.
I only use standard fonts.
tried the workaround maybe I did it wrong copied gray box and pasted in new
macrosaved then ran it
no help
