I was working on a document when a glitch happened and some of the text got converted to boxes, wing dings, etc (through??? M ? ? ? ). This only happens when I have a word document open on the network. It does not happen in anyother program or nor if I am working on a word document on my hard drive. I would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks
Moe

Alternative 1: This sounds like a network card or cable problem. We have seen similar errors with database corruptions. Does the same thing happen on other computers?

Alternative 2: Was the document originally written on a different computer? Ifthe font on the other computer is not present on your computer, you could well get funny results.

As a temporary fix, you can select the entire document and change the font back to the original.
