The fonts used by MSWord reside in files in the folder \WINNT\Fonts. To make sure
you still have the old font file, click Start->Settings->Control Panel->Fonts, and
go through the list of anything that may contain symbols (you may view them by double-clicking
on the file name). If your file is gone and you cannot get it from the old Word98
cd, and you cannot find a free equivalent on the web, a cheap solution would be to
buy WordPerfect Suite (you may pay something like $5 - $10) and it has lots of fonts,
including WP IconicSymbols. Copy the font file to the above folder.
When you have the font, in MSWord, click Insert, Symbol, and choose the font containing
the symbol you want. It will be displayed in the grid. Then you may code a little
macro that inserts it in your documents.
