google groups didn't show it to me, but sent me directly to the middle
of a thread, which I didn't have time to look for the beginning of
yet.

I don't know whether any of that relates to your question - it depends what
the characters are.

As far as working or not in F&R - can you give an example?

Frinstance, I get all my macronned letters with Ctrl+Alt+hyphen,
letter. If I need to replace a pre-Unicode coding for u-macron, I type
C-A-hyphen, u and a u-macron goes into the Replace window; but if I
need to replace a pre-Unicode coding for i-macron, I type C-A-hyphen,
i and nothing at all goes into the Replace window! I have to do it by
typing C-A-hyphen, i in the text, Copy and Paste to the Replace
window, and then it's fine.

(One of the letters that insists on its own font -- sometimes Times
New Roman, sometimes Simsun -- when I type it into the text is a-
macron. But it goes happily into the Replace window, and gets replaced
in the correct font.)

I've made lots and lots of custom key commands for letters with
diacritics, and almost all of them work throughout Word, even in the
Find/Replace windows.

However, a few of them insist on inserting their letters in Tahoma or
in Arial Unicode instead of in the font I'm actually using; I've tried
deleting the custom commands and closing and reopening Word, but the
problem persists. What can be done?

Why do a few of them not work in Find/Replace?

Also: Of the many newsgroups under microsoft.public.word.*, does any
of them handle font issues? I tried the internationaliszation one, but
it has all of 7 members and appears to be moribund.-
