 If(vUniform=0) `If there are several fonts in the current selection
    CONFIRM("There are several fonts in the selection, the font used for the last "+"character is
    "+vFont+". OK to apply this font to the entire document?")
 Else
    CONFIRM("The font of the selection is "+vFont+". OK to apply this font to the entire document?)
 End if
 If(OK=1)
    WR EXECUTE COMMAND(Area;wr cmd select all) `Selecting the entire document
    WR SET FONT(Area;vFont) `Applying the new font
  `Moving the insertion point to the beginning of the document
    WR SET SELECTION(Area;0;0)
