Font changes when saving to Word

Hi, I am trying to save an appleworks document as Word 97, 2000 but when I open in in Word2000 the font has changed from Times New Roman (default in in AW) to Helvetica. Also all the foreign language characters ( I am typing in French) have been replaced by weird characters making the document unreadable - a CV by the way.
I know that I can save as PDF or probably download and use OpenOffice but I would love to be able to do all this in AW. Should it be possible? Am I missing something obviuos
TIA Andy

Hi Andy
Have you ever try to save as HTML ?
The resulting doc will be readable in any Browser keeping my dear french characters.
Alas, the font info is NOT passed.
Here is a sample resulting file. The original contained three fonts.

Hi Dale
Are you aware of the openOffice 2.0 availability ?

Font change when converting a Word File

I write documents using heading styles to automatically generate Tables of Contents, using Word 2003. When I convert the document to PDF, everything is normal.
When I transfer the same file to my laptop, which uses Word 2007, and try to convert the file to PDF, the TOC and Heading fonts change from Arial to Times New Roman. (The rest of the text stays in Arial).
What am I doing wrong?
The version of Acrobat (X) is used.

Are you stating that the file previews correctly and only changes upon creating the pdf?
Are you creating your pdf via printing to the Adobe PDF Printer or creating pdf via the Word button?
What pdf settings? Avoid Smallest File Size or Standard

Font changes when client is using IBE (in browser editing). Anyone had this issue and know how to fix it?

I'm using Web Font, Open Sans Regular
It's fine when I log into IBE but when the client does it the font changes, when they add words to the end of an existing sentence the font is fine, it's when they add a return and add a new line of text, this is when the font changes

Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm having the same exact issue.

Why do Certain fonts change when I convert to PDF from Microsoft word? They start out 60s chic and end up as a standard font.

Why do some fonts change when converted from Microsoft word to PDF? It starts out as 60s chic and changes to standard font.

Related to the question, I suspect you have licensed fonts that cannot be embedded. Thus, the PDF is using what it is finding to be an equivalent as well as it can guess. Did you check the font list in the PDF?

OneNote 2013: Font changes when pressing Enter / Return key

I have the same problem as this guy (who didn't get a relevant answer): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/233833f7-dde8-414d-bdca-604ed8d57667/onenote-2013-font-changes-when-pressing-enter-return-key?forum=officeitpro
I set my default to Calibri 14, but every time I press enter (I make a lot of bullet lists) the font changes to Calibri 11.

Hi,
Did you change the default font after you typed a few words in a note container?
Setting the default font in Microsoft Office OneNote affects text that you type in new note containers only. It does not affect existing text or text that you add to existing note containers.
If you want to change the font in an existing note container, you need to change it manually under
Home tab > Basic Text.
Thanks,

Can anyone help me, i'm using a font that i got from the internet when i look at it in safari its fine but if i log in from another pc/mac the font is changed!!
Please help.
e-mail - [email protected]

If that's the only place you used that unique font, yes. Convert the textbox to an image file by applying a drop shadow to the font and setting the opacity of the drop shadow to 5%.

Mail font changes when i send to a pc. how to stop this from happening?

My mail font changes when I send to a PC and looks unprofessional. How can I stop this from happening?

You have no control over the way a mail client displays the body of your message. If you want control, send a PDF or HTML attachment.

Font changes when i try to create a pdf from a word doc

I am trying to create a pdf from a word doc. I have tried multiple times and each time i do the font i used in the word doc gets changed on the pdf

This seems to be a common problem... this is not the first time I have seen this. Unless it is a general system font, such as Arial, then it seems not to convert too well.
So, if it doesn't matter what font, then just change the font.
Hopefully, Adobe fixes this in the next year. xD
Good luck

Font changes when copy and paste url (Safari to Mail)

When copy from iphone 5 (vs 7.1.2-& no I don't want to update yet ) Safari, a URL/web address and paste into MAIL app, the font changes and won't paste in the same format as the email I've been typing. Is there any way to correct this? Also, anything I type after the paste keeps that same "other" format, when I want what I had started email in to stay the same.
I tho't I"d look at some settings and under iphone Accessibiilty I have Larger Text ON and Bold Text chosen, and Reduce Motion ON. Under GENERAL and TEXT SIZE I have it set to 4th choice up. I don't see any MAIL settings re FONT. Would any of these be the cause?

OK, I think I found another way to describe my issue:
When I copy text from a webpage in Safari, some form of "meta-information", or formatting data, is kept, and when I paste into MS Word, the formatting from the webpage is retained. In my default setup of Firefox, this formatting meta-information is not retained, it only copies the plain-text.
So my question is actualy: How do I prevent Safari from retaining formatting data, and only copy the plain-text?
I have been testing some clipboard managers, and have yet to find one that will auto-filter out formatting data from text that I copy, but they can after interaction.
The other, current, method I have been using is to:
1. select and copy the text in Safari
2. paste text into notepad
3. select and copy text from notepad
4. paste de-formatted text into MS Word
Or in Firefox:
1. select and copy the text in Firefox
2. paste text into MS Word (no formatting retained)

Font changes when converting MSWord to PDF

Sometimes when I convert a MSWord documents to a PDF, the font changes slightly on pages where there Figures. The font appears to be in bold.
How can I convert to a PDF and achieve a uniform look for the font throughout my documents?
I used MS Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat XI.

Are the fonts graphics or actual vector fonts? It may be that you are using a bitmap font also. If it is a true vector font, then there should be no pixel issues.

Need to see ALL files in folder when saving from Word 2003 OR Word 2013 program

Here is the issue.... A customer of mine has the need to save files in order (Communications with customers by date and time)
BUT..... when saving the file word does not let him see ALL the documents (.doc AND .docx) in the save dialog. (I know we could convert but there seems to be issues with the conversion, at least on the research I have done)
Is there a way for the Word save dialog box to display ALL the files in the selected folder? OR is this just an undocumented feature OR a WOW we never thought of that....
Thanks!

Hi,
When we save a Word document, the "Save As" dialog only displays these files which are the same type as the one we are trying to save. To display other types of files, select from the "Save as type" box, but I haven't realized there's a way to show
all types of files when saving. This is just how it works so far.
Thanks,

How to retain font-size when saving filled in form (pdf)

Hi,
I have a pdf form from an organization and when I fill in the (text)boxes, the more text I put in there, the font-size will adjust to fit everything in. However, when I save the pdf file and view it in a different pdf reader the font-size is too big and half of the text is not visible.
Also, the form contains some checkboxes/radiobuttons. When filling in the form they work just fine, but when saved and viewed both the yes and no are checked, even though I only checked one of them.
Anyone have any idea how I could fix this?
Thank you in advance
(using: Acrobat XI 11.0.0)

Ow.. I don't know the solution yet, but maybe something went wrong earlier with someone else who filled it in partially. I found the original on the internet and that seems to work so far.

Pages fonts changes when I print

I have a table in pages that the font style appears correct on screen but it changes when I print or export to pdf
The font is avenir condensed regular. A few of the lines in the table drop a portion of the text when I print or export as pdf. How can I get this to print and export as it is viewed? Why is it changing?

My graphics studio is running Adobe CC, so we are using the latest versions of Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and After Effects.
The files in question were inherited from a client. We need to maintain their product sell sheets that they created. Because they are working with Pages and Numbers we will get more files this way. Its a problem to receive files that look one way but print another.
My question remains. Is there a way to edit and print pages documents in Pages 5.2 from documents that were created in 5.5. This is only an
incremental change. The files open and display correctly. They even look right after editing. The disconnect is when we print them or create a PDF.
I'm trying to avoid migrating my entire studio to Yosemite just so we can run Pages 5.5. If I migrate one mac i'll have to move the entire studio.

How do I solve font changes when downloading a PDF document?

When downloading some PDF documents, the font changes. I have tried several troubleshooting solutions, but my issue was not solved. What can I do to prevent this from happening or if it does, to remedy the problem?

Yes, Ajlan, thank you. I solved the issue by opening PDF documents of unwanted fonts with another PDF document reader. When I open my files folder, there is an option (drop down box) at the top that allows for me to choose from either Adobe Reader or PDF Vista. It may have been there all along; I just didn't notice it until I recently had this issue.
Take care :-)
