OnLine English Hints and Tips
'To ensure that your symbols are retained when transferred between different systems, try to insert them using Word's Insert Symbol function.'

'Asian fonts such as MS Mincho, Gulim, Batang or SimSum may not transfer completely between different systems. If possible, try to format your document using a Western font such as Times New Roman or Arial.' or 'Too many abbreviations can make a document difficult to read. A general rule is to use an abbreviation only if it appears more than three times in the abstract or document'.
