The converter that Josh mentions in his blog will be the one to use. It will deal with the Hebrew also. I tried it on your sample and it appears that the font used are the Galaxie Greek and Hebrew fonts. So once you have the necessary macro and fonts installed you can use the two buttons at the bottom of its dialog called "Galaxie Greek to unicode, and Galaxie Hebrew to unicode"....

Thank you DSaw and Jon!

 

Believe it or not, I did use the Normal.dot from Galaxie but there are about a hundred macros. The fonts in my document were originally "GraecaII" and "HebraicaII" and I used the macros that converts them to Greek (GraecaIIToGreek) and Hebrew (HebraicaIIToHebrew), thinking they must be Unicode fonts. Why would anyone want to convert a non-unicode font to another non-unicode font? Well, I was wrong. The folks at Galaxie developed all sorts of macros for who knows what purpose. I bet there are a lot of legacy macros they never bothered to remove. In any case, I just used "UnicodeFromGreek" and "UnicodeFromHebrew" macros and now everything works great. Hopefully, someone can benefit from my experience. Thanks again!
