Thank you for your help. I did not go into the control panel of the

printer
but I did setup as Xerox printer as my default and that solved that

problem.
It is something with the Dell and the HP.

I'm certainly no expert on printers, but I suspect this means that

the
*printer* is substituting fonts. Can you find anything in the

printer
options (accessed via Control Panel) that could possibly be causing

the
issue?

One computer is connected to a Dell 5200 and the other is

connected to
a HP
4200. When I click on the font substitution button in a blank

document
I can
a error message saying that I already have the fonts. If I click

on
the font
substitution button in the document I am having trouble with,

nothing
happens?

What happens if you click the Font Substitution button on the
Compatibility tab of Tools | Options?

Are both computers using the same printer?

Yes I have checked and it is still there on both computers?

The
one
computer
does not have Helvetica in the fonts folder but it keeps

coming
up?

Are you sure that the Arial font file still exists in the

folder
in Windows?

Hello,

Thank you for you quick response Stefan.
I am holding down the Shift key clicking on File Save All

and
saving
it as a
.dot file. What I have noticed is that I can set the Arial

font as
a
default,
close the font windows go back in and it will have gone

back
to
Arial(W1) or
Helvetica. It does not matter if I save the document or

not. I
have
tried to
make the changes save the document and go back into the

same
document
and it
will still be Arial(W1) or Helvetica?
Something else that is strange is that when I change the

font
on
the
page
from Helvetica or Arial(W1) to Arial it will still say

that it
is
still
Helvetica or Arial(W1). If I change to another font type

it
will
show
as the
correct font execpt for Arial. Arial will also show as

Helvetica
or
Arial
(W1)?

How are you setting the default font? Note that when you

click
the
Default button in the Font dialog box, the modification

is
applied
to
the Normal style of the current document and its

template;
other
documents or templates will not be affected.

Hello,

I am using Word 2000 and I am not able to set the

default
font
to
Arial.
When ever I try it changes back to what it was

previously.
I
tried
it
on to
different computer and it did not work on either. I

change
to
Arial
(W1) or
Helvetica depending on the computer. I was reading

about
Acrobat 7
causing a
problem and that suggestion did not work.
Any other suggestions?

Thank you,
Warren
