I have about 500K of complex MacWrite documents that all share a common
flaw: everywhere "Helvetica" font is used, I really need "Times". 
It is impractical to convert each occurrence by hand... there are
thousands.

Can anyone suggest a better way?

The documents will be printed out onto a Laserwriter II/NT.  I have
resedit 1.0D4, finder 6.0, and MS-word, but few other tools.  The files
must remain MacWrite compatible.  With resedit there ought
to be some way of faking up a Times that looks like Helvetica... any
hints?
