When I get Windows Word documents (don't forget, Macs are PCs too), the
bullets often become sigma signs. I believe its because of keyboard mapping
differences between the two platforms.

If you use a Windows TrueType font on the Windows doc, and install that
Windows TrueType on your Mac, do the bullets show up as you expect?

(I don't know, and I don't have a Windows PC to try.)
