' replaced by =
On specific machines in our network Word replaces the ' mark with and = sign,
but when you bring up the same document up on another machine it leaves the ' in the text. What is the cause? |

Most likely the machines where it is not replaced have the WP Typographic
Symbol font installed. Most likely these are converted WordPerfect docs, in which characters from this font have been used instead of the quotes in the base font. The only way to fix this is to search for these characters and replace them with the correct ones. -- Suzanne S.

I have the same problem. It happened because we converted from Word Perfect
to Word. My solution for this was to install the WP Typographic Symbol font. I did this by taking the file named wphv04n_.ttf and dropping it in the c:\Windows\fonts folder. I obtained the mentioned .ttf file from an install of Word Perfect 6.1. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Most likely the machines where it is not replaced have the WP Typographic Symbol font installed.
