How do I find where a particular font is used in a Publisher docum
Using Publisher 2003, the document is a small book consisting of many text,
image and caption boxes. The document shows that there are four diffrent fonts being used. It is the intention that only be so. How do I locate the other three fonts and change whatever is using them to the one 'master' font? Thank you |

By looking for it. Which fonts does the document use and which one are you
looking for? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Colin" wrote in message ... Using Publisher 2003, the document is a small book consisting of many text, image and caption boxes.

How do I find where a particular font is used in a Publisher docum
JoAnn!
Colins question is quite interesting. And as much as your answer is correct, it is in many cases impossible to follow. Lets say you have a 60 page documents with 300+ textframes (yes, often do that in magazines). Somewhere in that document you have a font (imported?) that does not distill correctly because of copyright notice. Then how do you find that exact place where that font is used? It may just be one word in a large article. It would be nice to have some procedure (find or find/replace) to go right to that spot. Could this be done in VBA?

Terje
Thank you for your reply and interest in the query. Your example is exactly right. The book is currently 84 pages and contains thousands of words in several sections, some in linked text frames some not. There are also hundreds on photos all with captions. The idea that one has to search this lot for a small number of font changes is plainly ridiculous and I do hope someone has a great idea on how to solve this dilema. I did notice the Word has an option within its Find function (More, Format, Font) that allows to search for one or more fonts. Seems a bit of any oversight not to include such an option in Publisher given the similarity in the two programs. Colin |

Fine!
Except I do'nt do VBA very well (or not at all?). What would it take to convince some of you gurus to do it. This is a serious flaw in Publisher. I also know this has been asked before in this newgroup. BR Terje "Ed Bennett" skrev i melding ... Terje Martinsen was very recently heard to utter: Could this be done in VBA?

How do I find where a particular font is used in a Publisher docum
This is a great question!
I recently had a bad font problem and it partially still exists...because somewhere in a 20 page document I must have ONE character still in the bad font. It would be nice to be able to find that character easily so I can change it to the new non-corrupt font I'm using and stop the font warning I get when I open the file in Pub.

How do I find where a particular font is used in a Publisher docum
Actually I now believe this is a font that Pub has embedded but is not
installed on this new machine...problem is how to tell pub not to try to embed the missing font...I'm not using it anywhere anyway. "Rob Giordano (Crash)" wrote in message ...

Do you get the message about a font(s) when you open the file? There is a dialog that
gives you options. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Rob Giordano (Crash)" wrote in message ...

How do I find where a particular font is used in a Publisher docum
Yep, but no option to delete or not load (grayed out)...it just tells me
AvantGarde is not available. I know it isnt'. I had found the offending AvantGarde text and changed it to Garamond and as far as I can see now there is no AvantGarde being used in the pub., yet Pub is still complaining about it. Was AvantGarde a Pub font? I may just have to copy/paste into a new pub file...but issues like this usually send me on a quest to find out why it happens in the first place :-) "Mary Sauer" wrote in message ...
