In my documents very often Greek letters apear. When I copy/paste from Word to target any greek letter or any other special symbol selected from Word fonts (I don't know if there exists possibility to change the font directly in Trados), as they should be in the target, they always export to Word as small squares. Then I must correct them all in Word manually what is quite annoying. Does anybody know if there exists any solution to that?

Ana-Maria,
Thank you for your reply. I attach 4 files.

The source file is a Word document *source*.docx. File was generated by OCR. In some cases Iris put correct symbol like Greek "gamma" but sometimes it recognizes as Latin "y" or latin "B" instead of Greek "beta". In such cases during translation I copy/paste proper Greek letter into target segment. In Trados it looks correctly. After saving target as Word document Greek letters change to small squares. From the other side, if the right Greek letter was already in the source, it is exported correctly. Maybe I do something improperly to solve the problem with OCR and I should at first carefully analyze source OCR text before starting the translation in Trados? As this takes a lot of time so I preferre to correct all recognition errors by source editing in Trados but I can't change any letters to Greek in source segment, or at least I don't know how to do that.
Regards
Jacek
