Peter Gold,
pdf-ed by printing book from FM 2013 to file, then distilling. In Acrobat
Save as Word. My only guess is that this font is a bit more exaggerated
serif than the standard Times (etc.) and the font size was only 10 pt.
Also,  it seemed to create a text frame on each page for the contents.
