[UniMacTech] Symbols in Word on Mac and PC

[Allan Gadsby]

Hi folks
We have a user writing grant applications in both Word 2007 on a PC and Word
2007 on a MacBook but some of the symbols are disappearing when switching
from on the other. If she uses the Greek ϒ, for example, in Word 2008 then
opens in Word 2007, the symbol is replaced with a box, and the same happens
the other way, and for some other symbols, too. I have found a few threads
on Google, but no real solutions, apart from using LaTex or PDF. The grant
has to be submitted as a Word doc, apparently.
Has anyone found a way around this?
Thanks
Al
