Hi geppetto,
Use your keyboard.
Go to the Text menu, click and release the mouse button to open the menu.
Now (with the mouse button still up) move the mouse down to Font, then into the font list to highlight any font name.
Now type "ti" or "tim" (without the quotes) to jump immediately to the Times font.
Press Return to select Times, or press the down arrow, then Return to select Times New Roman.
For Helvetica, you will need to type the first three letters if you have Hei (or any other font whose name starts with Hea through Hek) installed.
Note: This is a System wide feature, and works with all menus in the menu bar. It also works with the popup font list in the bar across the top of an AppleWoks document window.
