Hi Greg,

You could use a macro to accomplish this. It doesn't work with styles though.

Record any macro, say record clicking the B-button on the Formatting
toolbar, and be sure to choose Normal.dot under 'Store macro in'.
Choose Tools | Macro Macro's..., select your macro and choose Edit. The
VBA-editor opens.
Replace the entire macro by the following:

Sub TTF()
With Selection
.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
.MoveRight Extend:=wdExtend

While .End ActiveDocument.Range.End
If InStr("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", UCase(.Text)) Then
.Font.Name = "FairyScrollDisplay"
Else
.Font.Name = "Times New Roman"
End If
.MoveRight
.MoveRight Extend:=wdExtend
Wend
End With
End Sub

Click the Save button in the VBA editor to save Normal.dot. Close the VBA
editor. In Word, choose Tools | Macro Macros... Select TTF and click Run.

Any letter will be put in FairyScrollDisplay while any other character will
be put in Times New Roman.
Bewa the macro skips tables.

Good luck,
Cooz

Hi,

The Tooth Faerie periodically responds to letters from my daughter by
writing using a TTF font called "FairyScrollDisplay". The problem is
that the font contains alpha characters, but no numerals or punctuation
marks. It takes a lot of time to edit the document so that alpha
characters display in FairyScroll and other characters in another font,
such as Times New Roman.

Right now the document is composed in Times New Roman, 18 pts. I created
a style called "fairy" using "FairyScrollDisplay" in 18 pts. The
document is then converted to FairyScroll by selecting individual blocks
of text and converting them to the "Fairy" style, leaving punctuation
and numerals intact in the Times New Roman font.

Is there a shortcut or workaround that will cut down on manual editing?
It would save the Tooth Faerie some sleepless nights spent editing
documents, and allow her to devote more time to building her castle with
all those teeth she is collecting!

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

Greg
