Thanks but I don't see Tools/Symbols when I'm in the formula editor. I do see Tools/Catalog. But I don't see that this does much more than just typing, for example, %mu, in the formula panel. The problem is that when the document is converted to a .doc and then opened in MS Word, all the Greek letters (and some other symbols) are missing. Other things like summations show up but not the Greek letters. A similar thing happens if I use the OpenSymbols font or the Standard Symbol L font in the text. When opened in MS Word, the wrong character appears. If I had typed mu in either of these fonts, when opened in MS Word, a different Greek letter or math symbol will appear (even though on the screen in OOo it shows a mu). However, if I use the Symbol font (I have to type in the work "Symbol" - it doesn't appear in the pull-down list of fonts), then what I see in OOo on the screen and print out from OOo under Linux shows up in MS Word too. All I want to do is have people using MS Word to see the correct Greek letters/symbols that I'm typing in OOo. I do see in the Tools/Catalog/Symbol panel it allows you to modify the characters but I cannot type in Symbol like I can for fonts for regular text.
