How does one go about converting style A to style B? More specifically, I want to convert all Courier fonts to Times without affecting any symbol fonts I have used. Suppose I wanted to convert all Courier superscripts to Zapf Dingbats subscripts. Could that be done? I know that a few years ago a program for doing this type of thing was posted, but that was pre-Word 4.0. Thanks in advance.

Save the document in RTF format, open the file WITHOUT interpreting the RTF code, look at the beginning of the document for /f# Courier and /f# Times, do a change from the Courier font number (the /f#) to the Times font number. As for the multiple-type (font/format) stuff, you can do that, but you have to know what you're looking for (I don't mess with RTF all that much). -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Glenn L.

I must be missing something here. The change can be done simply by a modification of the "Normal" style of the document. If the body of text is written in Courier, with scientific notation in Symbol, this requires explicit instructions. In other words, the formulas are not "plain for style (.)." All text plain for style (Courier in the above question) will be affected by the style redefinition. All text made explicitly different (using the character formatting) will not be affected. Anyway, that works for my papers. Stephane
