Could someone who has Adobe Garamond or Adobe Arno and Microsoft Word possibly have a look as to whether the Insert Symbol facility of Microsoft Word offers the alternate glyphs of the font please?

I tried Adobe Arno Pro.otf and nothing beyond 00FF (small letter y with diaeresis) was visible with Insert Symbol. The font had 1009 glyphs.
Thank you trying the experiment.
I am surprised at the result.
What do you get with Times New Roman and Arial please?
Some readers might like to have a look at the glyph complement of Adobe Arno Pro.

There are various alternate glyphs, yet there are also many regular glyphs from after U+00FF.
I use Word 97, which has been here for about ten years now: with Times New Roman and Arial, Insert Symbol can be used to insert accented characters from beyond U+00FF.

Times New Roman and Arial work fine for me-- can see the entire character set and therefore select any of them.
I tried a TTF of Arno Pro (OTF saved via FC) and it worked as expected – could see all glyphs.
The ArnoPro OTF shows up in MS Word (2002) drop menu with a different icon (some sort of shaded rectangle) than the other fonts which show a TT symbol. Maybe Microsoft doesn’t “do” Adobe?
Thank you.
