Obviously what you are suggesting is the best way. But in a long document
where styles haven't been used consistently, using Find and Replace will be
quicker. And for (long) documents with many editors, it might be the only
practical way.

If you are using a Style, there you go. Change the font formatting in,
for example, the Normal style and it's done for you. If you are not using
a Style, then create one and apply to the document as you like.

I want to change fonts throughout a long (420-page) Word document. Is
there a straightforward way to do that without having to go through the
entire document manually?

At present, the document uses a mix of Times Roman and Century Schoolbook
for text and a mix of Arial and Lucida Console for programming examples.
It has that mix because parts of the document were created by different
people.

I need to convert all the Times Roman to Century Schoolbook and all the
Arial to Lucida Console.

My guess is that I need to create a macro, but I wonder if Word offers a
simpler approach.
