ANSI to Unicode symbol font conversion

R

rpdrake

Word 2004 cannot search for symbol font characters, even though it
clearly knows what they are because it displays them correctly. I need
a way to either convert the ANSI based symbol font characters to
Unicode equivalents or to be able to find them and replace them with
some kind of unique symbol. Visual Basic interprets all such characters
as character number 95.

The reason for this need: I have most of a physics book written in Word
2000, with extensive editing in Word 2004. I need to find and identify
symbol font characters for a Visusal Basic file conversion routine that
I have written as part of the need to put the manuscript mostly into
TeX for my publisher.

Any help might save me a lot of tedious find and replace manual
activity.....
