Arrow In a Word document, how do I change the font without messing up the spacing?

Hello! I have this document with chemistry symbols and I need to make them appear. I don't know of any other way to do this than to change the font. So my document is originally set with Times New Roman and now I am changing to this font called "Fontrue" that is making my chemistry symbols appear and the letters are like identical to Times New Roman, but there is one problem, spacing is completely messed up with this new Fontrue.



Any ideas? I have already tried changing the spacing between lines setting. Still weird spacing between lines. Because there are images in my document, I would like the spacing to be very exact. But I cannot manually change it because it is too long (and there are around 200 other files with the same problem).

What are other settings I could try?

Try setting a fixed value for line spacing. You can modify the style applied to text, or you can simply select all and then make the change in the Paragraph dialog box.

Some trial and error will be required to find the appropriate value.

Hello... The problem is big

I did try many values for fixed line spacing and none of them worked.

Before conversion (notice the symbol not showing in the red box): http://i43.tinypic.com/eu2d1u.png
After conversion: http://i41.tinypic.com/33y03ys.png

There are too many files like that and they were all converted from PDF.

There are also images in the document and when converted this happens http://i39.tinypic.com/11ade1g.png

(The text goes over the image)

Also, the headers and footers get disconfigured and start to appear in the middle of the sheets. One thing that could work is to simply delete all headers and footers before converting the font (how do you do that? I have tried deleting them but I can only do one at once)

I guess my main interest would be to just delete all headers and footers at once, make the text not go over the image (make the image be like part of the text) and then delete all page breaks, line breaks, etc (I already know how to do the latter).

I am willing to pay if you can help me.

Thank you!

I tried to make the image "aligned with text", but no success. Then I found out what I see as an image is actually several layers, I had to delete like 5 layers to get rid of 1 image.

If I replace the image with another from my computer, then the option to align the image with the text and other image alignment options are available.

Anyone knows of a better PDF to Word converter?

I used Nitro PDF.
