he problem apparently occurs only with Times New Roman...when I view a
report on the screen, when I print a report, and the first time I
transferred a report to my word processor. I transferred two more reports
to my WP and they came out in the correct font. Go figure.

I have tried Courier and Ariel fonts and they print correctly.

I counted 399 fonts. Whoa! Where did they come from? I read the Fonts Tips
and will make adjustments accordingly.

Thank you for your help, Sue
