old machine, when open up "Insert Symbols" I get some 1142 symbols

Now that I have a Mac Mini Intel box I went to the Microsoft Mac website where
they note that their product development cycle is "2-3 years" and they make
no promise of when a universal version of Word will come out.

Just wanted to spread the word that the latest update to Office 2004,
which was released this past week, does nothing to resolve the cascading
