distinguising serif & sans-serif fonts

[Cloud02]

When having a written document and choosing the font it'd be a great feature
to quickly select if one only wishes to see serif fonts or sans-serif fonts,
instead of always being shown all the fonts and having to scan manually
between either of the two categories.

There are font managers around that will identify font types.
This appears to be free

Thanks for the reply Mary. But I was thinking this as to a integral part of
Office.

I know you want that in future Office options, but meanwhile there are very good
third party applications.
