Set the font for a Web page or plain-text file that you open

Applies to: Microsoft Office Word 2003

If the wrong font for a Web page or plain-text file is applied when you import it into Microsoft Word, you can select the font that you think the page is encoded (encoding: The byte (or sequence of bytes) representing each character in an HTML or plain text file. Unicode encoding supports all characters in all languages and is readable in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later and Netscape Navigator 4.0 or later.) in.

On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the General tab.
Click Web Options, and then click the Fonts tab.
Under Character set, select the character set that is used to encode the file.
Do the following:
- In the Proportional font box, select the font that is used for normal text.
- In the Fixed-width font box, select the font for monospace text.
