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 -- JRF |

Hi, when I copy anything from the text, and then right click on the find and replace dialog box, it will not show the copy/paste menu. How do I copy it to that box? I am also get circle symbols with a cross in the middle? thanks, JF "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Usually I just copy and paste them into the Find dialog. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks, but when I copy the funny A [line to left] code it copies as an A,
not a quote mark substitute, and replaces all the As. The quote marks from older files come in as odd As and funny @ signs, but these will not copy as they look....
