Is it possible to search for rogue font types in a Word document?

<< < (2/3) > >>

jdd:
katykaty, thanks for the suggestion  :)  but I found it to be a very cumbersome and convoluted procedure, especially in a long document. :huh:

Are there any other ideas?

katykaty:
Which version of Word are you using?

Did you copy & paste into the document or create it from scratch?

How long is the document?

jdd:
Word 2003.  This example is about 7 pages long including two pages with tables and figures with caption.  They usually start as an existing document (template) but several rogue editors add comments and cut and paste stuff through several iterations of review.

katykaty:
So how many styles show up in use?

jdd:
My understanding of the suggested procedure is that it requires a tedious line by line review of the entire document (unless I was not doing it correctly) and I gave up.  However, I would describe typical document fonts as follows:

- Draft document before removal of rogue font types:  2 or 3 font types,  with one or two font sizes.

- Final document after removal of rogue font types: 1 font type with two font sizes, as well as some All Caps of the same font
