By the end of the process I certainly didn't have the latest version (although I do now).
I think I started with no earlier than Word for Mac 2011 probably an earlier version still. I wrote my dissertation over a period of 2 years and I certainly did not have Word for Mac 2016 at that point (it was before 2016!). Otherwise, you might have to do it manually. If they do, do the rest of the alphabet and any other characters. Try to find every letter of the Greek alphabet without any formatting, one at a time, and replace it the same SBL Greek letter - just type α in the Find box, and replace with Format > Font > SBL Greek, and type α in the Replace box. If you mixed versions of Pages with Word for Mac 20, that might especially cause problems. It also occurred to me, you're not using Word for Mac 2011 are you? I wouldn't expect it to work like the 2016 version. Do an experiment and see if you can replace all Gentium with another Greek Unicode font, like Galatia SIL. Did you write your 5th chapter in Word? It could also be the font. The safest way to import or export is with plain Unicode text, and reformat it in your new document. When you import from other word processors, sometimes you import invisible and/or incompatible formatting. Yes, it could have something to do with that. Could my difficulties have anything to do with this, do you think?Īh, so the truth comes out. Subsequently, I have copied and pasted these Word documents to make one new Word document (which I need to do for the publisher). I originally wrote the various chapters in Apple "Pages" as separate documents, then exported them to Word documents. I have tried manually replacing the Gentium words with SBL Greek in various parts of the document, with no difficulty. Out of my five main chapters (the first chapter has hardly any Greek), it has changed all the words to SBL Greek in the fifth chapter, but not in any of the preceding ones! To answer your other insightful question, all my Greek words are in Gentium, which is a Unicode font. The curious thing is that, when I follow those instructions and select "Replace all" it tells me that it has replaced something like 220 words (which didn't seem enough to me). As I mentioned in my last post, I had to go back up to the main screen and select "Format" to get the fonts drop down box to appear. I had already followed the steps displayed in your screenshots before I saw them. Thank you, once again for taking the time to help me – I really appreciate it.
