Thanks in advance to all of the hardworking MVPs that monitor this board!
You guys are lifesavers.

One of my clients using Word 2007 noticed that symbols while transferring
table data between the 'Courier' and 'Courier New' font behaved differently.
While researching this issue I learned that 'Courier' is an older bit-mapped
font that is best used for onscreen display but not printing. 'Courier New'
is a TrueType font that works well in either environment. I noticed a when a
symbol is entered in 'Courier' then switched to 'Courier New' and back the
symbol appears to remain in the TrueType format. Is there any known reason
for why this occurs or why symbols behave differently with these two fonts?
Is there anything that can be done regarding this?

Again, thanks in advance,
Alex Zimmerhaven
