Americana Font

[Judy]

My new computer came already loaded with Windows XP, Word,
etc.

The version of Word on the new computer does not have an
Americana font. My Windows 98 version does and I have
several documents set up using this font.

How do I go about obtaining the Americana font to use on
my new computer?

Hi Judy,

My new computer came already loaded with Windows XP, Word,
etc.

The version of Word on the new computer does not have an
Americana font. My Windows 98 version does and I have
several documents set up using this font.

technically, it's not your Word-version that "has" the font, but your OS
(Win 98).

First make sure there's a decent printer driver installed on your new
system: open, say, Excel and look in the fontlist there. If you see lots
more fonts there than in Word, you need to install a default printer
driver first.

How do I go about obtaining the Americana font to use on
my new computer?

Open the Font folder under Start | Setting | Control panel. Copy this
file to your new machine and drop it into your font folder there.

Good luck!
