Combining Character Problems

Using word, if a document contains combining characters then word doesn't
render them correctly. Instead it just displays the square that it uses for
when it can't find the character in the font. Using the equivilent character
though without combining then there are no problems with displaying the
characters. I have tried this under word 2003, sp1, sp2 and word 2007 and it
has the same problem. This was tried on both windows xp and xp x64.
To test this out though, I used the same set of combining characters under
notepad and it worked fine.
The test characters I was using was latin capital a (U+0041) and the
combining grave accent (U+0300). As I stated earlier though, using the
character directly, in this case À (U+00C0), there is no problems with word
displaying the character.

Forgot to mention, this is when using the hex number then alt+x method for
inputting combining characters.
