Font schemes ... again : )

Hi there,
I was without internet access for a long time (grrr!) and my last post got
a bit lost I think. I was just wondering if anyone knew the answer to this:
Thanks so much everybody for being so patient!!!
Hi Ed
Thanks for your reply (sorry about my delay - no internet access, aaagh!).
Absolutely agree with you re making changes after the fact - very tricky for
a dopey publisher user like me.
I think I have to do it that way though, as I am trying to make six
different versions of the same 150 page document (with no linked text boxes)
in different fonts (in Australia, we have a different font for each state for
kids to learn to write with, and I am trying(!!!) to change the activity book
I have written into each of the different fonts).
So just to clarify, the best way to try and do this would be to go:
Format
Styles and Formatiing
Change the normal style into the first font I want to replace with

and then you have to go and click your cursor in every text box to change to
the new font style.

When I have tried this though, it changes the font size to whatever is set
in the format scheme that you have just set. Whilst I want the document I
have written to be in the same font throughout, it does have many different
font sizes.

But, if you choose font schemes, and select a font scheme to apply, it will
change the font but not the sizes.

Does that mean that I can't create something like the built-in font schemes
(that will change the font throughout a document but not change the sizes
that you have selected), and the only option is to do it the other way (which
results in font size changes).

Does the new version of publisher allow you to "create a font scheme)?
Thanks so much for your patience, I hope this is clear : )
