Windows 7 Finale 2011

This macro gets to step three and stops. I've tried "Type raw", I've tried "Down arrow 87", I've tried "Select Garamond", I've tried everything .Something about this won't register activity in the replacement font field. Any suggestions? It's bugging me.

I see no "Fonts:" in that dialog to type Garamond near. Do you need to check Search for this Font and click Select?

Motet, checking the "check system fonts" box gets me here. But for whatever reason, the macro doesn't seem to be able to interact with that font substitution field. I can do it manually, it's just the macro doesn't have any effect here.

Your script says 'near "Fonts:"'. Does it still say that? There should be no S. One needs to be precise here.

*facepalm* That was it. I knew it was something minor right in front of me. Thanks, motet.

Probably you have solved this by now, but there is a very informative web page here:
