All of the sudden my file wont open cause the font is missing!

[Phil00]

Ok, so this moring i got into my office and tryed to open my 71 page
publisher document. When i left yesterday everything was perfect. Now today
it says my font i was using Helvetica is no longer available and it asks if
i'd like to change the font. I can to another font, but this is a
communication going out to stores for the retail compnay i'm with and i'd
like to use helvetica. Now when i open a new publisher document or word file,
helvetica is indeed there. Why is it missing from this one file? I've NEVER
seen this error.

Helvetica was never installed with a Microsoft product. (MS does Arial
instead.) You'll have to find out which software product came with Helvetica
and reinstall it. As for *why* it happened, I honestly have no clue.

Look in the font folder in the control panel, is Helvetica there? Are you using
a font manager program? If you are, is the association still there? What happens
if you select all and select Helvetica? Does the font change then?

Helvetica is not an Office font. Maybe uninstalling the font and reinstalling
will help. My version of Helvetica is by HP. It is the default font for Apple.

Arial is just about the same font. The G and R and small a and r are a little
different.
