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?
