using Office 2007 on Vista. Have Word doc that I was reformatting and changed some of the fonts to Brazil, while leaving headings in other fonts. Saved it as such. When I came back and tried to change this font, EVERY font I try to change the text to, other than Brazil, shows as little boxes or questions marks in boxes. Apparently applying this font was death! The headings that were in another font are fine. I can't figure out how to fix my document without starting from scratch (I did a lot of editing and formatting -- arrgh!). Anyone seen this before?

You could try to Copy the offending passages to Notepad or Wordpad and see if they show up correct. I believe the problem is that Word no longer recognizes the Brazil font. It does not show up on my list of fonts for Word 2000. Is it an add-on font? MIKE http://www.skeptic.com/

When I pasted some of the text into Notepad, it showed up at boxes, but when I pasted it into Wordpad, it showed up in the Brazil font and in there I can change it to another font! Thanks for that suggestion! I'm also able to paste it back in my document now. I think you must be right, that Brazil is no longer recognized. I probably still have it in Word because I also have Word 97 on my computer and that document was created a long time ago. I sure wish I hadn't saved it in that font. Brazil seems to think it's a symbol font or something. I seem to have acquired a lot of bizarre fonts somewhere/somehow. I've even had some that crashed my computer when I tried to use them in graphics programs. Maybe I need to do some housecleaning! Thanks for the help.

Maybe I need to do some housecleaning! Here's a list of the fonts included in Office 2003 as a starting point. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/h... You might find this of help also, but I have never used it myself. http://www.sdsoftware.org/default.a... Good luck. MIKE http://www.skeptic.com/

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE FROM http://www.sdsoftware.org/default.a... I downloaded FontFrenzy to give it a try, and I am having a bunch of problems with my computer since the install. I have currently uninstalled it and am running Norton in safe mode. Don't know whether it is Virus/Trojan or just a lousy piece of software. MIKE http://www.skeptic.com/

Back up and running. Both Norton & Malwarebytes came up clean after the uninstall. Although it did leave a whole bunch of Registry entries that I had to manually remove. Look like just a lousy piece of software. MIKE http://www.skeptic.com/
