Default Can not set Arial as default font

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?

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
