Weird character substitution when opening WinWord document in Word 2004

[Laurent Daudelin]

I recently got a document that was created on WinWord. I quickly
noticed that there were some strange character substitutions in the
documents. For example, when I look at the document in WinWord, there
is a header that says "2.3.3 - UPSTREAM APPLICATIONS- CONTINGENCY
ENVIRONMENT". When I open it in Word 2004 on my Mac, the header becomes
"2.3.3 - UPSTREAM APPLICATIONS- AONTINGENCY ENVIRONMENT".

I have a document that exhibits the problem if anybody wants to look at
it. I'm not sure what the problem is and whether if I modify the
document, it will save the correct character or not. Since I'm in a
mostly Windows environment, I'd rather not distribute documents that
contains errors like these.

Does anybody have any idea?

Thanks in advance!
