Hi. I'm new here, and I have a somewhat tricky question for which I really need help:



I have formatted a large word document with the Adobe Garamond Pro font. Adobe Garamond Pro offers two sets of numbers: so called "table" numbers and "medieval" numbers. The table numbers are the "normal" ones; they appear when you type a number. For layout reasons, I have replaced all "table" numbers with "medieval" numbers throughout the document (word does not know that they are numbers, it treats them as special characters), using search and replace. This worked without a problem.

The (big) problem are the page numbers: I would like all page numbers to use the medieval numbers as well. But as page numbers are automatically generated, search and replace does not work with them. [And as word does not know that the medieval number characters are numbers, it does not offer them in the page number layout options.] I suspect that this is the case because they are "fields", and search and replace looks at the field algorithm instead of the result of the field. So if anyone knows a way to "freeze" the fields and replace each field with the current result in this field (the doument is done otherwise, the page numbers will not change again), I could then use search and replace on them. All alternative routes to getting the page numbers to be in medieval are equally appreciated.

Thanks for your help!
