While we are on the subject, let me complain about Word 2002 to someone who cares... :)

I created a document in Word 97 (last week) that included a lot of "micrograms" and "microliter" references. Being the dutiful technical writer, I used the Greek letter "mu" as an abbreviation for "micro".

We upgraded to Windows XP and Office 2002 over the last weekend. When I sent out the document for review, the reviewers discovered that all of the mu's had been replaced by T's. Ugh!

Moral of the story: be careful with special characters.
