The easiest method with any halfway modern version of LaTeX is to
install the psnfss package. You can then obtain a document which uses
helvetica as the default (sans serif) font by:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{helvet}
If you want to get helvetica instead of the default roman font you
would need to add a line such as:
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{\sfdefault}
