Font problem ( Wingdings font) "Hazir Isufi" <hazirisufi[ at ]gmail.com> 4/21/2007 2:05:52 PM When I type something in Word 2003 using Times New Roman font and then I format the whole text into Wingdings font, of course, it is not readable, and if I chage the font again into Times New Roman, or another font ( such as Verdana, Courier New, etc.), it is again readable. But, if I save this Word doucument using the Wingdings font and open it later (after this file is saved and closed once), and change the font from Wingdings into Times New Roman, it can not be read. Can anybodu help me solve this problem?
