I need a font substitution utility for MS Word.  I would settle
for a simple hack that substituted one font for another throughout
a document (e.g., Helvetica for Monaco).  Ideally, the utility should
be able to take match specifications of the form:
	(Family, Size, face specs)	e.g. Monaco 12 bold
and substitute another spec for it throughout the document, e.g.
					Helvetica 14 plain

Of course such a hack would require knowledge of font representation
in MS Word, and I haven't been able to get that from them (no surprise).

Really, Word should have this in it, or a way to define and use
logical font family/size/spec definitions.

Please reply to cca!mirror!mmodel.  Thank you.
