Here's my problem. I converted a large report from a Word for the Mac file to Word for Windows 2.0 and have since made major modifications. The original Mac version was formatted using the PIM. Now when I print the document all the parenthesis are not Word characters but graphics and print with black dots beside them. I cannot get Word for Windows to do a search and replace to change the PIM paranthesis characters with normal parenthesis, it doesn't recognize the PIM ones even when I paste them into the replace command box. I tried to convert the document back to Mac format but that was worse. Word for the Mac couldn't read any of the parenthesis at all. Does anyone have a solution? Am I doomed to going through and replacing them all individually? What should I have done in the first place? Kent Lind kentlind@u.washington.edu
