Description kennylee 2006-07-18 10:16:15 UTC 
math symbol such as ⊆,∈ become a square symbol ∅ after saved as MS office XP 
doc file.

@kennylee:
Please attach 2 sample documents:
- OOo File 
- exported WORD document

Please contribute more precise information:
- Where do you see those "∅" - in OOo or WORD?

I did some own tests with "2.0.2  German version WIN XP: [680m5(Build9011)]" and
WORD2000. Result: WORD2000 does not show correctly some special Math symbols in
a document saved as .doc from OOo. The results are not really reproducible, I've
got very different results opening exported documents with WORD2000: Sometimes
all characters are shown as expected, sometimes some characters are replaced by
rectangles, sometimes the same characters are replaced by question marks, it's
strange. I am just trying to find out the system.

Some first check: 

1. Open new OOo WRITER document
2. copy / Paste report text to OOo document
3. save Document
4. Save document as WORD2000/XP
5. Close document
6. Reopen .doc with WORD2000
   expected: Text as pasted should eb shown
   actual: Some rectangles instead of ⊆,∈,∅

The problem occures an OOo file is saved as type "Mircosoft Word 07/2000/XP".
I opened the saved doc file with Microsoft Word 2002, the math sumbols such as 
⊆,∈ are replaced by rectangles. Attached 2 files, original OOo files and MS 
word files which is converted from OOo file with "File-> Save As".
