Weird symbols in WordXP

[MikeMinsk]

I am getting some strange symbols in my formulas.
For example:
instead of "+" i am getting a thunder!!!! or instead of "=" i am getting something like a planet figure!!!

when i am editing the equation i can see them ok but when i am exiting the editor they are terning into this strange symbols and i can't do anything!

If anybody knows what i should do please help me!!!

Thanks, Michael.

In the Equation Editor, go to Style | Define, and see if an incorrect font
is selected for Symbol (should be Symbol).

I had exactly the same problem and found that my symbol font had been removed???
I put it back on and hey presto!
