[QUOTE="John McGhie, post: 6894188"] Look to see which font is defined in the style you are using for those paragraphs? Selecting text and choosing a font is not a good way to change fonts in Word: it leads to these problems if the font you selected is different from the font in the underlying style. The font in the style will sometimes appear if the overlaid direct font is disturbed. You also need to ensure that the font you want is installed. If you add text to a document on a computer where the required font is not installed, Word will use the closest match. And finally, it pays to ensure that the font you are using is a Unicode version. Unicode supports a much wider range of characters than the old MacRoman fonts: again, if you need a character that's not in the font, Word will revert to the closest matching Unicode font that does contain the character. But I suspect that most of your problem is coming because you have not yet set the styles up properly in that document.
