Font (which I cannot find!) preventing the creation of PDF

I am attempting to print a Word 2003 file to a PDF, but this process is
prevented because an error occurs stating that a font, which I cannot find in
my Word file, is not able to be embedded due to license restrictions. I
understand this, but I cannot find the font in my file!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!
 
Have you tried clearing the option to embed fonts in the file, before
converting to PDF?

1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Save tab.
2. Clear the "Embed TrueType fonts" check box.
3. Save the document.

Thanks Stefan. Unfortunately, I did try this, and it doesn't work. I
continue to receive a notepad file showing that the font cannot be embedded.
This font (WP-IconicSymbol A) cannot be found in my document!!

Any other suggestions?? I am attempting to complete this document ASAP!

Thank you again!
 
Can you find a setting in the PDF application that controls font embedding?

I have tried, but I think the issue comes back to finding this font in the
Word doc that is preventing the creation of the PDF. For some reason, Adobe
won't replace the font in question, and I can't find it in the document to
change it! Frustrating!

Am I missing something?
 
Have you tried using the Find dialog to seach for the font?

Thanks Suzanne for the tip. I tried this, but with no luck. Anything else?
I'm pulling my hair out! I have to just be missing something...but what?
 
Did you check in all the document stories (header/footer, text boxes, etc.)?
If you've really checked everywhere, then possibly Word just has a memory of
the font (a sort of "ghost in the machine"). You may be able to exorcise
that by copying the text and pasting into a new document (if your document
formatting is not so complex as to make that impractical). Or you could try
roundtripping it through HTML or RTF as described at
