Word formatting problem -An A and @ inside of all of my parenthesi
I have an odd problem. I recieved a document that appears fine on the
sender's machine, using word and saved as a .doc file. However, when I open the document on my PC, everywhere there are a set of parenthesis I get a capital A inserted at the begining of the subject and then an ampersand at the end of the parenthesis. Using the word subject it should appear like this.... ( subject ). However, when I get it, the appearance is..... (Asubject@). This happens everywhere there is a parenthesis in this document. |

The document either was created or at least has roots in WordPerfect and has
used the WP Typographic Symbols font (instead of the built-in font characters) for "curly quotes," dashes, etc. You could correct the way the document appears and prints on your computer by installing this font, but a better solution is to use Find and Replace to replace the faulty symbols with the correct ones. -- Suzanne S.
