My university uses MS-Word 97/2003 .doc files with formulas.
When I open the .doc file with OOo 3.1 I cannot see all formulas correctly - some characters or codes are turning to <?>
Here is a screenshot:

The language is Hebrew.

The other way is also problematic:
A document saved by OOo 3.1 and viewed by MS Word 2007 shows similar problem:
Some characters are turning into -?-

Do you want me to make a list of all the specific chars/codes?
