When you use a symbol in a dialog box, Word may not display the symbol character correctly in the dialog box. For example, this problem may occur in either of the following situations:
- When you copy and paste a symbol into a dialog box.
-or- - When you select a symbol in your text and access a dialog box.
This problem may occur with the following dialog boxes in Microsoft Word.
