This is not specific to MS-Word. The font Wingdings is a special font
containing just
symbols. Any sequence of letters will generate a sequence of symbols when
the font
Wingdings is applied to it. It does not matter whether this is done in Word,
or in any
other application like Quark Xpress or whatever. It is just the way the
Wingdings
character set is put together. Now I guess the Wingdings character set may
well be a
Microsoft product as well. But there are many more lettercombinations that
will generate
all sorts of symbol combinations in Wingsings, or in other fonts like Symbol
or Webdings
or Outlook. I think we should take care not to become paranoid about this.
