How do I find where a certain font was used?
While the above method should locate it, if you are using Word 2003, you
could open the document in the script editor ALT+Shift+F11 and search the metadata directly for the reference and remove it from there - or at least locate it. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Greg wrote: isnt that what he said to do? I dont see what im missing. I did it like it was described "Jay Freedman" wrote: Don't type the name of the font into the Find What box -- that will never work. Reread Stefan's instructions about the More button and the Format button, or the identical explicit steps in my parallel response. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Ive even tried just the first couple letters of the font name and it still isnt finding it. "Stefan Blom" wrote: If you remember the name of the font, you can use the Find and Replace dialog box (Ctrl+H) to search for it and replace it with another suitable font. Click the More button in order to see the whole dialog box. Place the insertion point in the "Find what" box. Click Format, Font, and choose the font name. Click OK to return to the Find and Replace dialog. Then place the insertion point in the "Replace with" box and repeat the process, now of course choosing the replacement font. Finally, click Replace All. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Greg" wrote in message ... I have a document I need to convert to PDF but it is using a copyrighted font that wont PDF. I know what the font looks like but not seeing it visually, its a 40 page document too. Is there any way to search for where a certain font was used? |
