When I convert documents containing Math formulae to MS Office 97/2000, all the
Greek like %alpha turning into rectangles with no way to repair :(

What settings do you use in Tools > Options > Load/Save > Microsoft Office ?
Do you have installed a font file starsymb.ttf ?

I can confirm the problem with OOo3.2Beta m3 and WinXP.
To reproduce the problem, you must delete any installed starsymb.ttf file, so
that only the OpenSymbol font is installed.

Already the formula picture of the formula misses the characters. Not only greek
symbols are effected, but + and cdot also.

If you have not converted when saving, then a double click on the formula in
PowerPoint for example opens OOo as OLE, you see the correct formula while
editing, but it vanishes totally when leaving OOo.

If you have converted when saving, then a double click on the formula in
PowerPoint opens the "Microsoft Formel Editor" and after that the formula is
viewed correctly in the ppt-file.

If you have installed StarSymbol the characters are correct in the formula picture.

Probably duplicate to issue 79037 or issue 53223.

In case you have not converted it and you double click the formula in PowerPoint
and you really chance something, for example adding a blank, than it is shown
correctly.
It is not a problem, which codepoint is used. I have changed %DELTA to not use
the private area but Basic Greek and the replacement image is still wrong.

Yes, this is the same as issue 79037.
