Fonts displaying incorrectly

[Guest]

I have inserted symbols into a paragraph in older versions of Word and
printed them out successfully. I am now using XP and the symbols are
displaying incorrectly. Interestingly, the online web layout shows the
symbols correctly, but all other views, and prints, show rubbish where the
special symbols have been inserted.

I have over 800 files with these symbols inserted. Is there any way I can
reasonably easily get them back without re-inserting the symbols?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You may try a repair installation to fix the problem.

Just a thought - is the same font you used in the older program
installed on your new computer?

Thanks for your input.

I have checked all fonts required are installed and repaired the
installation. The symbols still display incorrectly.

Does anyone know why the online web layout displays the symbols correctly?
Why does this display show the correct symbols and not the normal layout?

Cheers.

You will have a better chance of getting an expert answer in one of the
Word newsgroups. This one is for the XP operating system. Here's a list
of all the MS newsgroups to help you find the right Word one:
