Is it true that Publisher 2007 only has 11 fonts and two of those are
Wingdings and Symbols?

You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

No. Fonts in websites are by default limited to a set of common fonts,
as not everyone has other fonts. Publisher comes with a plethora of
fonts, and can be used with any fonts installed on your system (provided
they are sufficiently high-quality for Publisher not to barf on them).

And no one wants barf-covered fonts.

Why is it then that when I pull down the menu I can only select from these 11
fonts, when I have had access to many, many in the past. Is it related to
the fact I have a new Dell computer?

Make sure you have a default printer selected.

Most likely because you are working on a WEB publication and not a PRINT
Publication.
There are many context sensitive operations that vary between WEB and
PRINT publications .
To find out what you are doing, look at the very top line on the screen,
it should say yourfilename - Microsoft Publisher - Print or Web
Publication.

Read Ed Bennett's first response to your op.
When designing a website you need to take into account that only fonts that
the viewer has on *their* machine will be visible when viewing your website.
If the viewer does not have the font then your website will appear with
default fonts. To avoid this you should stick to web-safe fonts (Google: "
web safe fonts"). However, for small amounts of text, like headings etc. you
could convert your heading with your special font and convert it to an
image. You wouldn't want to do this a lot since search engines cannot read
text within images.
So...I guess Publisher 2007 tries to protect you from using non-web-safe
fonts and hence Mary Sauer's response: "Format, font, clear *Show only Web
fonts.*" which would allow the use of non-websafe fonts in a web design.

Rob,
My point really was that I cannot find any action like
"Format, font, clear *Show only Web fonts.*"
I understand the limitation on fonts and I said that WEB pubs get
offered less fonts than PRINT pubs by the context sensitive actions of
Pub 2007..

The Format, font, clear is only active if you have a text box selected.
J
John G
Yes FONT is greyed out if you are not working in a text box.
Still I cannot find any CLEAR in the FONT window.

How about the word "uncheck" then. Select the text box > Format > Font and
look directly under the Font field and uncheck the "Show only Web fonts".

Yes now I understand. Clear did confuse me a bit but that box only
exists on WEB publications and not on Print Pubs and since this NG is
about PRINTand not WEB pubs I did not look close enough at Format in a
WEB Pub where I expected to be only offered the limited number of
fonts.
Learn someting new every day. Thanks.
