odd characters
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 |

This is an indication that the document originated in WordPerfect and that
the WP Typographic Symbols font was used for the quotation marks and apostrophes.

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 "Suzanne S.

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

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 "Suzanne S.

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. -- Suzanne S.
