can't change font
Hello All,
I received a spreadsheet with a font I'm unable to change. The font style is "ï¼*ï¼³ Pゴシック". It makes the cell contents looks spaced out, like this: D38999ï¼ï¼’ï¼ï¼«ï¼¨ï¼•ï¼“SA Nothing I've done changes the way the font looks. Please Help and Many Thanks to you all! Terri |

can't change font
Hi Terri,
Try changing the option that show font name in it's own font. Tools, Customize, Options (tab), uncheck List font names in their own font That should tell you what it is looking for in the way of a font. May be you don't have that font installed for Excel, or you have the wrong font. Possibly you need BIG5 to handle double byte characters as in Asian countries. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Terri" wrote in message ...

can't change font
Thank you David for your help,
I'm afraid your suggestion didn't solve the problem. I'm sure the font isn't installed on my pc, but trying to change the font seems impossible. When I attempt a font change, nothing really happens except maybe the size can change (not the style). The double byte characters are unique and because of this a v-lookup's to other lists will not work. I'm at a total loss on how to proceed.
