CG> Incoming Wp51 documents are scientific, and host symbols

CG> "plus-or-minus" (ñ).
Its a real shame, they didn't use the built-in equation processor in WP51.  
Word does a great job of converting WP51 equations to its native equation 
format.
I highly recommend you use the equation processor in word, instead of 
searching for symbols from various font sets.  You may get into trouble if 
your document is printed on somebody's system which does not have the 
appropriate font set.  If you use the equation processor, it will print 
correctly and look great anywhere, even on a dot matrix printer.
I find the equation processor to be very intuitive for building equations, 
even some complex ones.
