Hi,

It's a problem that is sometimes caused by the text having been assigned a
symbol font accidentally (by Word or by the user).

There's a macro by Microsoft in the KnowledgeBase somewhere that repairs the
text, but I can't find it at the moment.
The macro below will fix it too (... I tried it on your text, and it starts
with "MARCH FOR BABIES").

If you don't know how to run macros, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/CreateAMacro.htm

Regards,
Klaus
