I'm sending this to the list in case anyone else has the same issue. Below is the macro code. In Word, press F-11 and paste the following into the Microsoft Visual Basic window.

Sub StripSymbol()
    With Selection.Find
        .ClearFormatting
        .Replacement.ClearFormatting
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = True
        .MatchCase = True
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
        For i = 32 To 127
            .Text = ChrW(i + &HF000)
            If i = 94 Then
                .Replacement.Text = "^^"
            Else
                .Replacement.Text = ChrW(i)
            End If
            .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
        Next i
    End With
End Sub
