SYMBOLS CHANGING

I have a large document that used to contain a large number of one symbol.
Now when I call it up the symbol has changed. The font is the same, the
version of word is newer. I tried to go into find and replace - but when I
copy the symbol now in the document and paste it in the "find" space, the old
symbol shows. What gives?
 
Hi ME,

Word uses Wingdings for all symbol fonts in the "Find/Replace" dialog. So when you see the symbol correctly there but not in the document, the Wingdings font must be missing or corrupt.
You can make sure of that in "Tools > Options > Compatibility > Font substitution".

Regards,
Klaus
