Use the Macro Record option to create two macros.  Say Alt-R for Courier and
Alt-M for Times New.
Use these to switch between fonts.

Jim,

It is the shortcut key information I need to know.

I write the code in Access, compile, test etc.  Once I have the code working
I have to copy and then 
paste into Word.  I currently just highlight and then select the font from
the tool bar.  What I 
think I would like is to do an alt-Something to cause it.  We all know that
Alt-I toggles Italics 
and Alt-B toggles Bold.  I need an Alt-Something to toggle the code font and
AltSomethingElse else 
to toggle the normal font.  Never having done that I am not sure it would
really work that way or not.
