Charactor Conversion-Opening Word 2003 Documents in Word 2007

When I open documents in Word 2007 that were created by others in Word 2003,
some characters are being converted. For example, all apostrophes are
converted to equal signs, dashes are converted to exclamation points. Anyone
have a solution?

Those would be documents originally created in WordPerfect, which uses
nonstandard fonts for some such symbols. One way to fix it would be to
Find/Replace each wrong character individually. If you have a lot of
these documents, you could make a macro.
