SUMMARY
=======
 
In Word for MS-DOS, you cannot remap TrueType fonts using a Character
Translation Table (CTT). This happens, in part, as a side effect of
the way Word interacts with the symbol set of a TrueType font.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
To substitute a different character for a TrueType font, create a
glossary entry, as described in the following instructions:
 
1. Insert the ASCII character code of the character you want to print.
   With NUM LOCK on, press ALT+NNN on the numeric keypad, where NNN is
   the ASCII character code. For example, to print ASCII character
   185, press ALT+185.
 
2. Select the character and format it for the desired TrueType font.
 
3. From the Edit menu, choose Glossary.
 
4. In the Glossary Name box, type a short name for the glossary entry.
 
   Note: If you want to assign a one- or two-key code to the glossary
   entry to use as a shortcut key, see the instructions on page 383 of
   "Using Microsoft Word."
 
5. Choose the Define button.
 
To use the glossary entry, type the sort name you gave in step 4 above
and press the F3 key or type the key code.
