Hi Sam,
I fear that your "solution" doesn't work. If they don't allow you to
use the wasysym package, they probably don't have the wasy fonts
installed and can't compile your document.
The problematic thing is \fontfamily{wasy}.
I recommend Phil's approach: textcomp is a standard LaTeX package. If
you are not allowed to use it, you aren't allowed to use LaTeX.
Regards,
Reinhard

This certainly makes life easier for tex users. The only hitch is that they would rather you didn't use external packages.

However, I would like to produce a parts per thousand symbol (<span style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19px">ä). Normally I do that like this:</span></div>

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
