Greek symbols in MSword
Greek symbols in MSword
(OP)
Recently I downloaded a paper on horizontal storage tanks. All greek characters, graphs and text were successfully downloaded and stored on the harddrive and CD's but when printed on paper w/ MSword none of the greek characters used for the equations printed out. Is there a switch that needs to be activated or is this MSword text editor not capable of performing the task. HELP!!

Your printer may not support those fonts, in which case, you need to go into the options and set the flag for downloading unsupported fonts as graphics.

You've been here long enough to know not to cap everything
Did the computer at work display the characters? You could try going to Options|Save|Embed True Type Fonts, in case there's some discrepancy with fonts at work.

The Greek symbols are in several different fonts, some are not as widely available as others. If you make sure that the downloaded document uses the "Symbol" font under the "Insert", "Symbol" command then you'll have a really good chance to have your symbol show up correctly on any printer. This font seems to be loaded just about everywhere, but some of the other choices are hit and miss.
