Lynne, thanks!  You probably missed my other tantrum about this subject
- the one where I described exporting every file in my book to MIF and
doing a search & replace for every font name in there.  All of my files
use one font - Arial.  My wrongheaded thinking was that should stop all
this font tomfoolery since every Windows machine has Arial.  Boy was I
wrong.  Not only did it not stop it, Frame changed a number of them back
to Times after I reimported the files.  This is the part where I become
annoyed...  :)  .

Steve,
   Sounds like your book has references to fonts that you have at work
but not at home. Those fonts could appear on master or reference pages,
or in table formats that you are not using. They could also be used in
graphics. 
Looking through a MIF version of the file is a good way to find them.
