[Paul B. Gallagher]

Ran across this Microsoft support page while looking for something else 
-- perhaps someone will find it useful. Fair warning: I have not tested 
this and cannot answer any questions about it.

WD2000: Incorrect Characters Appear When You Open Document in Earlier 
Eastern European Version of Word

SYMPTOMS
When you open a Word document that was created using an earlier Eastern 
European version of Microsoft Word, the text of the document may appear 
as square boxes or other incorrect characters when you open the document 
in the English (U.S.) version of Microsoft Word.

CAUSE
This problem is caused by font-mapping and character-mapping problems. 
For example, this problem can occur when you create a document by using 
a font that is not installed on your computer.

RESOLUTION

-- 
War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left.
