- Open the document you want to substitute fonts in.
- On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Compatibility tab.
- Click Font Substitution.
- In the Missing document font box, click the font you want to replace.
- In the Substituted font box, click the font you want to use instead of the missing font.
Microsoft Word does not replace the name of the missing font; it only changes how the font is displayed on the screen and printed, by substituting a font that is available on your system. If the substituted font is listed as "Default," read the message near the bottom of the dialog box to see which font will be substituted.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each font you want to change.
Customize Word to work with a converted document
- Open the document you want to set compatibility options for.
- On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Compatibility tab.
- In the Recommended options for box, click Custom.
- In the Options box, select the options you want.
Note Changing the options affects only the display of a document while you're working with it in Microsoft Word. It does not permanently change any formatting in the document. If you later convert the document back to its original file format, the formatting appears as it did before you converted it to Word.
