        <description><![CDATA[&quot;Why won't Word print the right mathematical symbols?&quot;A couple of years back while proofing a submission to the FDA - They like things accurate. - I spotted a simple equation that was in error. It was something like &quot;X is greater than or equal to Y&quot; but the symbol shown was 'equals'. (Like &quot;6 ??? 5&quot; printed as &quot;6 = 5&quot;. The error stood out, thankfully. &quot;Less than or equal to&quot; presented the same wrong information on paper.A bit of sleuthing showed that the Konica BizHub font codes in firmware made the mistake. I corrected all users' machines to NOT use printer fonts, but Windows fonts instead and the error stopped.But it was printing to PDF that got me on the right thinking path. Testing on HP printers didn't replicate the error; Konicas always messed it up. Fixed!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[...is that the printer either can't load the requisite Cambria Math font or had it loaded correctly but the memory's gotten corrupted. Exporting the Word doc to a PDF would probably embed the typeface within the PDF itself, which would solve the problem in either case.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Do the math on paper. Make certain the math is correct. Google &quot;how to use special arithmetical and 'special characters' &quot;. Great number (no pun intended) of YouTube solutions and many chuckles along the way. Fewer moving parts as opposed having to learn MS's convoluted solutions for sure. Sorta like remembering how to place accent marks on Euro words..... bookmarked reminders.....Susan, YOU STILL ROCK!  Thanks for the challenges as always!]]></description>
