I have the same problem on my linux desktops and laptop (SuSE 7.2, 7.3 & 8.0). None of the computers had this problem with OO 638 -> 641D. I received suggestions about reinstalling fonts, but this did not solve the problem for me. Browsing the OO mailing list archives showed that there were other users with similar problem but no definitive fix, at least not at the time I looked over the archive. Picked up Staroffice 6 which does not have the problem of changing special characters to question marks, plus the manual and adobe distiller is almost worth the price of staroffice for me. I would be interested in a solution to the special character problem with Openoffice 1.0. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - should you trust your government?
