Further to my comments in an earlier message, and following from 
an examination of 300 converted documents, I'll make the 
following statement:
         ===============================================
         AVOID THE USE OF MSWord'S INSERT-SYMBOL COMMAND
         ===============================================
                   Let's see why I'd say that.
Early on in the WP51---->Word6.0 conversion project I decided to 
replace all the weird renditions of "less than or equal to" with 
a proper symbol. I wrote a macro that would "I"nsert the "S"ymbol 
in the document, hooked it to a toolbar, made a pretty icon, and 
then when I came across any representation of "less than or equal 
to", I'd select the character and click on my icon. 
Likewise for plus-or-minus and greater-than-or-equal-to.
PRESTO! Consistent symbols throughout all the documents. 
They look good - 
                        BUT they are all the equivalent of the 
ascii40 code. Lose the machinations behind the scenes, whether it 
is character formatting or MSoft mumbo-jumbo, and you are left 
with a scattering of ascii40 characters throughout your document, 
with no easy way of determining whether you are looking at a 
plus-or-minus or a less-than-or-equal-to or a greater-than-or-
equal-to. 
Try fixing *that* mess up without hiring a $16/hour technical 
proof-reader and printing out a WP51 version and a Word version 
of each document.
I'm willing to debate this issue, any place, any time, any 
conference. If you're *not* willing to debate it, then think very 
carefully before using Insert Symbol.
Consider, instead, pasting from Accessories Character map.
I hope this helps.
