old docs: when using Times CSX+ to write, Word would encode the characters with diacritics into Times and everything would display properly.

If you were using the US Extended keyboard layout and inputting
Unicode, Word would substitute a Unicode font for Times CSX+ for most
of the accented characters. But normally using two fonts in the same
word would not result in "proper" display.

The doc you sent me seems to be of this type, with lots of CSX for non-
accented characters and Times or Times New Roman for accented
characters.

now, in new docs, Word changes the characters with diacritics to Monaco and my old docs do not display them correctly anymore (blank boxes!).

The doc you sent me doesn't seem to have any Monaco in it.

am so desperate, i'm considering using LaTeX

You might first try a clone like NeoOffice and see if things will work
right there. Also I would not use CSX for anything if you are doing
your project in Unicode.
