NOTE: The font names in the following macro must be spelled as they appear in the dialog box that appears when you click Font on the Format menu. This macro does not affect the point size of the font.

Sub ReplaceFont With Selection.Find ' Clear all previously set formatting for Find dialog box. .ClearFormatting ' Set font to Find for replacement. .Font.Name = "Times New Roman" ' Clear all previously set formatting for Replace dialog box. .Replacement.ClearFormatting ' Set font to Replace found font. .Replacement.Font.Name = "Arial" ' Don't find or replace any text. .Text = "" .Replacement.Text = "" ' The following parameters must be set as follows ' to find only text formatted for the specified font. .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = True .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False End With ' Perform the find and replace. Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll End Sub

NOTE: This macro does not prompt you before it changes the font. In order to be prompted to replace each occurrence of the font, replace the wdFindContinue constant in the .Wrap = statement with the wdFindAsk constant.
