Adding Fonts to New Font Collection

P

Petervr

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel I need help in adding a few of the fonts I commonly use to the Fonts Collection, which appears at the top of the Drop down menu under FONTS. I would like to store the names of a half dozen fonts in the Font Collection menu so that I can avoid scrolling through the entire Font list in order to highlight them. If one uses Verdana a lot, this is a real pain. Right now, when I go to Font Collections (under the Font menu), I see the subheading New Favorites, not no list appears when I click on it. I want to put my favorite fonts here

We find that the Font menu doesn't work very well in Word.

What I suggest is that you investigate Styles in Word.

Then you can set the Font, Face, Size, spacing and everything else, all in
one place, and you won't lose that or have to scroll a long list to get to
it.

Much quicker and more reliable.

See the Word help topic "Format your document by using styles" to get you
started.

Cheers

Thank you for your response.

It is a shame that previous editions of Word for the Mac handled this task more easily than the 2008 version.
