Hello, first of all thank you very much for the video. What if there is no font file in my Common Files/Adobe folder? What could I do

New computer and one font didn't come in at first. Have now added that font and everything works fine with one nagging problem. Under numbered lists the numbers are highlighted as font not available. When hit "change all" get the message "The selected font is applied to hidden conditional text, or applied to text in a locked story, or is part of a composite font. Some instances of the font may not be found, or may not be changed."

How can I fix this? Even hitting change to suggested font does not change the numbers.

Please provide me some useful solution if possible.
