Equation Editor uses the wrong symbols

Hello,
I was using Office X and I found that when I selected the symbol for a
dot over a character, it put an intersection symbol over the character
instead. Two dots become two intersection symbols, and three becomes
three. Most of the other over-character symbols are okay, but a hat
is a cursive symbol and a tilde is a circle with an x through it. I
have never run into this problem before today (I have put dots over
characters before with no problems). It was about time to upgrade
Office X anyway, so I bought Office 2004, uninstalled the old version
of Office and installed the new one. I am having the exact same
problem.

Any ideas why this only started happening today? Any idea why
uninstalling office (and equation editor) and installing the new
version of office (and equation editor) did not solve the problem?

I have AppleWorks on my computer as well. It has its own Equation
Editor that looks like an old version of Word's equation editor. Dots
over characters work perfectly there.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt
