Because you don't have the Helvetica fonts. You could buy them -- adobe.com is one source. > Why the mystery wrap? It's not a mystery. Different fonts have different font metrics. You can't replace Helvetica with Times New Roman (FM's default replacement for missing fonts) without your whole document reformatting. > How to change all the fonts in every style to Arial in one fell swoop? Wouldn't it be better to buy the fonts that the document was intended to use? If you insist on making everything Arial: 1. Open Paragraph Designer and select the Default Font tab. 2. Select Commands > Set Window to As Is. 3. Set Family to Arial. 4. Select Commands > Global Update Options. 5. In the dialog box, select Default Font Properties Only and All Paragraphs and Catalog Entries, and then click Update. HTH! Richard Richard G.
