Default Finding a problem font

Acrobat PDF conversion of Word 2003 fails on a document created with cut and paste from a WordPerfect 7 document. There's nothing reported by the PDF conversion, and checking with Adobe's support, it was suggested I print the document with "Adobe PDF" as the printer. That at least results in clues, and apparently it choking because of a WP font; WP MathA.

The problem? I can't find any characters using WP MathA font in the document. I used Find, with the Format button set for Font>WP MathA, and ^? for any character, ^# for any digit, and ^$ for any letter, and nothing is found.

What do ya'll suggest to find the offending font?

The logfile from print:

%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: WP-MathA cannot be embedded because of licensing restrictions. ]%%
%%[ Font vendor (WPCO) does not permit this font to be embedded in PDF. ]%%
[Warning] The font WP-MathA could not be embedded because of licensing restrictions.
Text may display incorrectly on platforms that do not have this font installed.

%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
