Yeah, this is the case. Not just Word, but Microsoft-wide. They have decided
that they are going, once again, to do it THEIR way, not Apple's, not the
customers', or anybody else's way. I am slowly disconnecting my personal
operation from all Microsoft applications.

It is amusing to note that if you install the newly-renumbered fonts from
Adobe, then Word's formula (equation) feature breaks. This is because they
are looking for a hard-numbered Symbol font.

Dolts.

Your suggestion would work, but it would be a whole lot simpler if Microsoft
gave a rip and just did it right.
