Usually I just copy and paste them into the Find dialog.

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

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

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

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
