The font in one of my documents has changed to Arial Alternative. It is not
installed on my desktop so Symbol was chosen as the closest font. When I try
to change to any English text based font(Arial, for instance) I just get
boxes instead of characters. How do I get my fonts back to working in this
document? They work in other documents.

You might try using "Paste Special" to paste the text into a new document as
unformatted text. Select all (Ctrl-A) and copy the document. Then open a new
document and use Edit - Paste Special - Unformatted Text to paste it into the
new document.

I hope that helps.

I tried your suggestion but still get the same results. I can select Symbol,
Bookshelf symbol, Wingdings,... but any readable font still comes up as
boxes, even after I paste special unformatted into another document.
