Thanks Suzanne.
This works fine -- much easier than trying to create a macro to do the job.
Of course, it would be easier if the original documents had used styles.
Unfortunately, the people who create the documents I inherit can't be
bothered with styles.

Replace can do this. Leave both "Find what" and "Replace with" boxes
empty. Click More, if necessary, to expand the dialog. Then click Format,
select Font, and select the appropriate fonts for both boxes. But this
would be MUCH easier if the document used styles; then you would just
modify the styles.

I want to change fonts throughout a long (420-page) Word document. Is
there a straightforward way to do that without having to go through the
entire document manually?
At present, the document uses a mix of Times Roman and Century Schoolbook
for text and a mix of Arial and Lucida Console for programming examples.
It has that mix because parts of the document were created by different
people.
I need to convert all the Times Roman to Century Schoolbook and all the
Arial to Lucida Console.
My guess is that I need to create a macro, but I wonder if Word offers a
simpler approach.
