Problems with Unicode SMP 1-characters

Hi!

I have two Unicode fonts (Alphabetum and Code 2001) that include
Supplementary Multilingual Plane 1 characters. I use BabelMap to insert
these into a document in Word 2002; but there's a strange thing happening:

- when I open a new document and first set the font to Alphabetum or Code
2001, then I can paste these characters without problem, but then, when I
want to change the font of these characters from Alphabetum to Code 2001 or
vice versa, Word refuses to do so; there's no problem however to change the
font of characters of the 'regular' Unicode ranges
- when I open a new document and let the font stay at my default font (Times
New Roman), I can paste the characters, but I only get boxes, since they
stay in the TNR-font and Word refuses to accept me changing it to Alphabetum
or Code 2001 ...

In WordPad, I don't have any problems with this.

Is this a bug in the SMP-support of Word 2002 or should I look for something
else?

Many thanks in advance,

P.S.: I don't know anything about font building etc., so ...
