    Hi Jim,

    Since I sent you this, I've been wondering whether you were ever going to post it! I assumed that you had something more sophisticated in mind. I've attached a slightly updated version.

    I've no real knowledge of anything but the most elementary of macros and the simple series of search & replace procedures in this macro looks a bit clunky to me. I'm sure that there ought to be a more elegant way of doing it. It includes some odd instructions to cover common mistakes among students in their use of the bwgrkl font.

    The macro is very fully commented so that it should be easy to identify anything that folk need to modify, though this does make it rather large. For instance, it's easy to do a search and replace on the macro to make it use the Unicode font of your choice.

    It also contains a trap for any bwgrkl characters that are not converted to Unicode (the errant characters are marked with 'marching red ants', but it's easy to modify this to your own taste).

    Please let me know if you find any errors or if you come up with some improvements.

    God bless,

    John
