Are there universal 'rules' for the substitutions of fonts?

I have a series of docs that I open, that contain fonts that I did not. Instead of having to repeat the process of font substitution several times, is it possible to create a rule that can be applied to every time?

Thank you

Rick

I'm not aware of any way to solve the problem before opening the files, but you can avoid setting each file individually after correcting one, if the styles of paragraph and character in the documents are used consistently with each document.

Open files unfixed and ignore the message of missing fonts. Then choose load all text Styles in the paragraph Styles Panel menu or character Styles; This brings in the fixed styles since the fixed file to the currently selected file.

You can do this for multiple files, by collecting the individual documents in an InDesign book file. In the book file, define a single fixed file as a Style and synchronize styles of paragraph and character of all selected files.

Read the help for more information on loading and using the functionality of the book styles to synchronize multiple files with a source of style.
