I have been given a file which uses the "City Blueprint" font. I have
downloaded the font so can now read the file. I wanted to change the font to
something more common so I can read anywhere. Selecting text and then
selecting the Arial font converts it not to Arial but to a series of open
squares. Any ideas what to do

Hi MJK,

The font is likely a symbol font (i.e. the characters look like letters but to Word are 'symbols'. One approach is to apply the
macro in this article.
