I need to be able to make a global change, text and footnotes, from one font to another, while leaving other fonts alone. In documents I create, there is always English, and I prefer to work in Arial, as I hate Times New Roman (smaller and harder to read because of the serifs). However, I often include Greek (SBL Greek font) and sometimes Hebrew (SBL Hebrew font). When I want to submit something for publication, I have to convert the Arial to Times New Roman, as that seems to be a common requirement. I want to change the Arial only, leaving the Greek and Hebrew fonts alone. I have had trouble in the past because trying to do a global change converts the Greek font into Times New Roman, which is not right at all. I know how to select the whole document and change the font. I also know how to do a find-and-replace action, but how do I find and replace one of multiple fonts? So far I've been doing this the hard way, selecting only the Arial text, from a whole paragraph to a single word, and converting it but that is a very onerous process. Is there an easier, faster way to do this?

Also, is there a way to make Word 2007 select all the footnotes at once in order to make format changes? Thanks.

If you're using Styles properly, you should be able to change just the font names in Style definitions for the Styles you're using; otherwise, you could use Find/Replace to replace the Arial font with Times New Roman.
