SUMMARY
In Word for the Macintosh 5.x, characters can be formatted for the Symbol font and its coinciding character set either directly using the Format Character command, or by using the Insert Symbol command.

Included below is a summary of how Word for Windows 2.x converts Word for the Macintosh 5.X symbols. Methods of conversion include:


 * Opening from Word for Windows format
 * Saving directly to and then opening from Word for the Macintosh format
 * Saving to and opening from Microsoft Rich Text Format (RTF)

MORE INFORMATION
Each column represents one of the three possible methods of conversion. If an entry is delimited by &quot;no,&quot; it is lost in conversion.
