I am using Windows XP Home Edition. I have tried using the Format Character command without success. The highlighting seems to work but that was not what I intended. Strangely, the font shows in the changed color in the command box. Clive

As to the colour change, I think that highlighting the text you want in the new colour might be what you want rather than the font name. There are also a number of other ways to get your text to be different from the surrounding text and that is by using Character styles via the Styles and Formatting toolbar. Using Styles is described quite well in http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/OOo2.x/user_guide2_draft.pdf -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
