Re: unable to insert symbol with latest version of Office

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Branton,

I still don't see why the system doesn't consider them duplicates. Maybe
because one's name is SymbolMT and the other just Symbol? I don't know.

As for whether or not to turn off the duplicates (which probably appeared
when you did the reinstallation), I'd say no, as long as everything is
working right. I'm of the 'don't fix it if it ain't broke' school :-).
