macOS Sonoma and issues with MS Word 365 for Mac

Since I downloaded macOS Sonoma, MS Word on Mac does not print solid black bullet points taken from the Symbols Font file. I have replicated the issue on my wifes MBP and it works fine prior to installing Sonoma but having downloaded it, solid black bullet points are printed as white boxes. They look fine on the screen but when you print or convert to pdf they show as black boxes (suggesting that the character can not be found).


If you want to try and replicate this, insert round black bullet points in to a word document and then go to print preview, print the document or convert to a pdf to see that the round black bullet points (taken from the Symbols Font file) do not come out as bullet points (as seen on screen) but as black square boxes.

Hello,

Me too, I have the same issue.

I cross checked on Microsoft users website. The issue is also related.

...I really appreciate Apple products. But at work we use Word/Excel/PowerPoint.

Hope Apple and Microsoft will fix this rapidly.

In the end, the end users are annoyed by this lack of collaboration between Apple and Microsoft.

Running Word/Excel/PowerPoint should be exactly the same on both platforms (MacOS and Windows).

Rgds,
