Re: Higher Unicode characters

But it is supplied with all versions of Windows and/or Office, isn't it?

Until a couple of years ago, one was able to download "Arial Unicode MS"
from MS, but all download links were removed AFAIK.

Not sure, and I haven't seen that message yet.

I'd make sure "Arial Unicode MS" is installed on all machines. It
contains
every Unicode character (in Unicode Version 2, which is all Office
supports
AFAIK).
That way, the machine should be able to deal with any character you
throw at
it.

In the Office setup, it's somewhere under "Office common features >
International support > Universal font" or something like that.

Thanks for the tip...
I did find it in the Office Shared features, but I need the installation
CD,
which I do not have at work... Now I have to call the IT people to get
them
to install that feature... But they know me now... I keep calling for
them to
install stuff on my machine... The first of which was the VBA help files
which were not installed by default where I work...
