Is Wingdings a standard font in Word 2007?

Hello,

My company is currently using Office 2003 applications. We have hundreds of
Word documents containing the Wingdings symbol ï± (square box) with a black
shadow (Character code 113).

I cannot seem to find any documentation that confirms, either affirmatively
or negatively, whether or not the Wingdings font is available as a standard
font in Word 2007. (Although, I do see that Wingdings 2 and Wingdings 3 are.)

As you may surmise, my concern is that once my company upgrades all users to
Office 2007, will there be any problems with documents containing Wingdings
symbols, specifically, the square box with black shadow?
