The system configuration is IIcx, 6.0.4 with Word 4.00A. At present he has an old thesis which has been converted from a PC disk. Unfortunately, there are a number of these special characters (mainly control characters and the like) that appear instead of characters in special fonts, like alphas and betas, etc. He would like to change these special characters whilst using something like Change (under the Utilities menu), but when he copies in from the Clipboard the character alpha it appears as the letter "a". So he can't do the change. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. #include [someone.elses.disclaimer] Nick Guoth RSC ANU Australia nickg@rsc0.anu.edu.au or ndg503@csc.anu.edu.au
