[OS X TeX] search & replace commands

[Alain Schremmer]

Thanks very much:
Be reassured, that although I have now converted about thirty pages of 
Word into TeX, I am not anywhere at the point yet where my Hamiltons 
could  contain curly braces. It was only that I just discovered 
Computer Modern Sans semibold condensed.
I had used another font to mark denominators, as in 42.3 Hamiltons = 
0.423 Clevelands = 4230 Dimes,  but it didn't come out as well as 
Futura condensed did in Word mainly because they were a bit difficult 
to distinguish from boldfaced terms.
By the way, is there another condensed font that would be usable by an 
Install Challenged such as myself? (I did install CM super though!)
I am afraid that, not being a native speaker, I am missing the 
allusions subtending your last paragraph re monetary rewards, or the 
absence thereof, due to the owners of the softwares.
Thanks and regards.
