When converting Word files from PDFs or downloading them from the internet, many documents encounter font errors due to differences in character encoding or the lack of compatible fonts. Identifying the cause will help you fix the problem more easily.
Font errors in Word are often caused by character encoding differences or missing fonts. You can fix these errors by selecting the appropriate font, converting the encoding, or using supporting software.
Reasons why Word files have font errors
- Due to differences in character encoding between documents
- Due to missing fonts on the computer
- Due to errors in the file format conversion process
How to fix font errors in a Word file
Step 1 : Open the file you need to edit, press Ctrl+A to select all, then go to Home and choose the appropriate font.
Step 2 : If there are still errors in the text, in this file we can detect that the word ' trưil ' is incorrect and must be replaced with ' trail '. However, we can see that only one letter ' ư ' is incorrect and must be replaced with ' a '. Therefore, we will only replace the letter ' a ' for ' ư '.
To fix this error, do the following: In Word, press Ctrl+H to open a window. In the Find and Replace window, under Replace, in the Find What field , type the incorrect word (ư). In the Replace field , type the word you want to replace (ư), which is (a). Then click Replace All.
A notification window appears, showing 159 errors. Press OK to close the notification.
In the text, we see that the word 'ư' is replaced by the word 'a'.
Step 3 : Find other misspelled words and repeat the process as in Step 2 until all errors are resolved.
And this is the result after the repair was successfully completed.
The article above has guided you on how to fix font errors in Word after conversion. If the text still displays incorrect characters, check the character encoding and use a font conversion tool to ensure the content displays correctly. Applying the correct method will help your document be clear, easy to read, and free from formatting errors.
