Default 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

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. See €śWD2000: Special Characters Lost When You Change Font in a

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

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

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.

The following macro should help identify any selected character:

Sub ANSIValue()
S1$ = "Because the selected text contains"
S2$ = " characters, not all of the ANSI values will be displayed."
S3$ = "ANSI Value ("
S4$ = " characters in selection)"
S5$ = " character in selection)"
S6$ = "Text must be selected before this macro is run."
S7$ = "ANSI Value"
Dim strSel, strNums, LastFourChar As String
Dim iPos As Integer
strSel = Selection.Text
If Len(strSel) 0 Then
For i = 1 To Len(strSel)
strNums = strNums + Str(Asc(Mid(strSel, i)))
Next i
strNums = LTrim(strNums)
If Len(strNums) 255 Then
LastFourChar = Mid(strNums, 252, 4)
strNums = Left(strNums, 251) + Left(LastFourChar, _
4 - InStr(" ", LastFourChar))
MsgBox S1$ + Str(Len(strSel)) + S2$
End If
If Len(strSel) = 1 Then S4$ = S5$
MsgBox strNums, 0, S3$ + LTrim(Str(Len(strSel))) + S4$
Else
MsgBox S6$, 0, S7$
End If
End Sub

Hi, I made and ran the macro, thanks, but there are two characters that come
up where quote marks should be, one is an odd capital A with a top line to
left, the other is a primitive-looking @ sign . Your macro says they are
ASCII 40, both of them, but when I search for ^40 in a longer manuscript, it
finds all the left parentheses only. Are there ASCII or other codes that is
doing this A and @ stuff for quote marks ??? I cannot search and replace them
in my long book length manuscript without the correct codes...

Thanks, Joe

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

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

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

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.... JF

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.

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.
