Why does my text default to MsMincho when imported?
I have a question about Word 2000. First let me describe our situation. We
are a family of weekly newspapers and we import text from Word 2000 into Quark Xpress through a Bondi pallet plug-in. The problem we are having is that when we bring a story from our database into Quark, a message comes up telling us that the Quark document 'uses fonts not installed in your system'. The culprit is almost always MSMincho. This forces us to replace ALL of the fonts with one font and throws off all of our styles. This adds a ton of extra work because we have to reformat everything. It's almost of no use to even format it in Word. If I create a new Word document for a story it will work fine. But there are so many people in the company making stories, copying text out of e-mails, importing text files into the database that it is impossible for me to see where the problem originates. I wonder if anyone can shed some light on this problem for me. Is there some way to get around this time consuming problem? |

Why does my text default to MsMincho when imported?
Word seems to covertly use MS Mincho for some characters (such as en and em
spaces); although this is usually not evident, I find that text has a deplorable tendency to revert to overt MS Mincho at the most inopportune times. I can assure you that having it installed is not the answer! -- Suzanne S.
