Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not sure my original post was clear
enough. I'll give another brief explanation followed by a more detailed
explanation:

Brief:

I've tried to replace in the manner you describe, but the problem is I am
working with document written in Greek Unicode and English. The Greek text
is
part Tahoma, part Times; the English text is Times. I want the English
text
to remain Times, but the Greek mixed text in Gentium. (See below for a
reason
why a replace based on langauge will not work.). Thanks for the help

Long:

I am working with a document that was originally written in Tahoma. Part
of
the document is written in Greek Unicode. The guidelines for the project I
am
working on require the English text of the document to be written in Times
New Roman prior to submission for publication. Since Times New Roman is
not a
Unicode font, when I changed the entire document to Times New Roman, the
Unicode characters for Greek letters with accents, breathing marks, etc.
remained in Tahoma, while the rest of the Greek word (i.e., w/o accents,
etc.) changed to Times. Complicating matters, the document was not written
using the Language settings in Word, so when Greek text appears, Word does
not recognize it as "Greek" text (which means I can't easily find/replace
based on language in the document). So, I am left with a lot of of words
that
are part Tahoma and part Times. I need all of these Greek words to be in
the
same font (in this case, Gentium). So, I am wondering how to change the
words
that are part Tahoma, part Times to Gentium.

Thanks for the help.

Edit > Replace. Leave the "Find what" and the "Replace with" boxes empty.
Click in the "Find what" box, then click More > Format > Font and choose
Tahoma. Now, click in the Replace With box. Click More > Format > Font
and
identify the font you want to replace Tahoma with. Now, click Replace
All.

Repeat, using Times New Roman instead of Tahoma.

Hope this helps.

I am trying to replace words in a document with a mixed font (i.e., part
Tahoma, part Times New Roman) with a different font.
