This is an example of a program being too smart for its own good. MS Word does font substitution. If you entered a document on a machine without a Laserwriter, it uses fonts for the Imagewriter. You need to install a Laserwriter driver on your first machine and use Chooser to select it before entering font information. My guess is that what you think is Symbol is actually the Imagewriter equivalent. Details about this "feature" may be in the documentation, but I have never found them and most people at Microsoft had no clue as to this problem (yes, I finally spoke with a programmer who told me what was happening). /Jim
