Help, Fonts & Office 2003 WORD

Robert

I have Office 2003 loaded. When I open WORD, the list of fonts available
does not include all the fonts that are listed in my MS Windows XP font
folder.

I do not know how to copy the fonts listed in my XP font folder into WORD so
that I have access to use them while using WORD?

Can someone help me with this please?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Do you have a non-generic printer installed?

Three printers installed, two laser Hp's, and a laser Canon.

I thought that if in my Windows XP "Font" folder I had the list of fonts
that are shown, I would have access to them in whatever MS Office program I
am running?

Is that not accurate? regardless of the printers I may or may not have also
installed?

Thanks,

Not necessarily - your printer needs to support the fonts as well.
Word uses the current printer driver to determine which fonts will
appear in your font list. This is so your document will actually print
the way it looks on the screen.

What fonts are you trying to use?

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
