The test was originally copied and pasted from a PDF, so they are being
recognized as Symbols. Already did the Find/Replace.
What bothers me is why is the character only being recognized in the text of
the document, and not within the cells of a table? I think you are missing
the point of my question - I don't have a problem with Symbols and I don't
have a problem with Ctrl+H. I have a problem with Word not recognizing the
request for a specific character when said character exists in a cell.
See??

Thanks,
