I am trying to change fonts and am so far unsuccessful. Right now, this is my script, just to try to change one Font/size/style. Ideally I would like to change ALL text to a new font, but thought I would just start with one size. If anyone sees a flaw in my process, please let me know! (Or, an easier way to do this!) Thanks - Linda
script: (When I run this, the font does not change!!)
page view
menu item "Font Utilities.."
check "Search for This Font:"
button "Select" near "Search for this Font:"
type "Arial Unicode MS" near "Font:"
type "Regular" near "Font Style"
type "10" near "Size"
uncheck "Strikeout"
uncheck "Underline"
uncheck "Fixed Size"
uncheck "Hidden"
hit "OK"
button "Select" near "Replace"
type "Verdana" near "Font:"
type "Regular" near "Font Style"
type "10" near "Size"
uncheck "Strikeout"
uncheck "Underline"
uncheck "Fixed Size"
uncheck "Hidden"
Button "Ok"
Button "Apply"
hit "Ok"
End

Maybe the script is too strict (too many parameters defined) and somewhere it isn't included in the font.
I suggest in the first part defining the existing font, to include just font name and if needed size, and then change it to the new font in as much detail as you want.

Well I finally did get this font script to work - just syntax error it seemed...
Here is what I used:
process all open docs
page view
menu item "Font Utilities.."
check "Search for this Font:"
button "Select" near "Search for this Font:"
type "@Arial Unicode MS" near "Font:"
hit ok
button "Select" near "Replace Font With:"
type "Verdana" near "Font:"
hit ok
hit "Apply"
hit ok
