Change wingdings back to normal font?
I typed a Word document in Times New Roman. Then I changed the font to
Wingdings. I am unable to change it back to any readable font. This doesn't make sense! Thanks for any help you can give. |

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=290978 for the (complicated)
fix. What's the fascination people have with changing whole documents to Wingdings? Just because you can? Or were you trying to make a "secret code" document? -- 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.

That's exactly it. Instead of protecting a document with "password to open,"
they think they'll just change it to symbols so no one can read it. Unfortunately, once you apply a non-Unicode font, you're in a world of trouble. -- Suzanne S.
