Hello,
=20
I'm coming across this problem while doing web stuff, so hoping someone =
else out there can give a pointer even though it's not 100% web related.=20=
=20
I have a document that was taken from Mac PageMaker, converted to Mac =
Word, then to Windows Word 97. Things look generally fine in word. =
However, when I copy text from Word to any other program, any where there =
is an instance of 'fi' or 'fl', it is replaced with a question mark. This =
is highly annoying. And unfortunately I can't do a global search and =
replace since some question marks are legitimate and I don't know which =
are going to be fi words and which fl words.=20
=20
I've tried changing the font in the document and saving it as both a word =
doc and an rtf doc, but the problem still occurs. Anyone else seen this =
happen? Know of any way to keep it from happening?
=20
Just thought I'd ask.=20

Thanks,
