problem with converting from this font...

[Guest]

plantin oup -- its the oxford university press font.

when i copy&paste a section from the oed (digital version of the oxford
english dict) into a ms word 2000 .doc it shows up fine, but if i try to
format it to match the rest of the doc, i get rows of unrecognized
characters. how can i reformat from e.g. plantin oup--->times new roman?

I have that font, and there's nothing odd about it as far as I can see. Try
using PasteSpecial > Plain text.

i tried both 'unformatted' and 'unformatted unicode' in the
paste special' options, and, while this renders the majority of the
characters visible, it still loses the accented latin characters and the
greek words... and these are mainly want i need.... any other ideas?

I just learned what that means recently. You send post the word bump all you
want but that won't change a darned thing.

As is everyone else's question to them.

I've gone into Google Groups to look at your original question and Jezebel
gave you a suggestion. You want to change fonts, no big deal. But you want
to maintain certain characters that apparently aren't in Times New Roman.
You may have to do the conversion one word at a time.

Where are you pasting _from_ exactly?

If that's a PDF, and the font is subset in there, you are lucky to get
any meaningful content in the first place (and w/o changing font).

I would try to ask the folks who did this online english dictionary
about suggestion, in any case.
