How or Where can I download additional symbols??
On the "insert Symbols" menu I have a fairly wide selection of alphabet
letters and a few symbols. My partner has MS Works and has many more useful
symbols than I have with Word 2003. I want to insert bold arrows, like then
kind he has on Works.

The "symbols" are in the fonts that came with Windows and Word or
Office.

There's a Unicode range called "Arrows," but none of those are what
I'd call bold; did you try the Wingdings font?

Webdings and Wingdings (and 1-3) are essential symbol fonts. you might find
what you need there (FYI--UPPERCASE and lowercase letters often appear
entirely different. Try using "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
in upper and lower and convert to the fonts (don't forget the numbers and
other keyboard symbols!)
