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

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). -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org

And no one wants barf-covered fonts.

need more fonts than Publisher 2007.
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. -- John G VB" wrote in message ...

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. /verbose -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rob Giordano Microsoft MVP Expression "John G" wrote in message ... | Could you please explain a bit more? | -- | John G. | | "Mary Sauer" wrote in message | ... | Format, font, clear *Show only Web fonts.* | | -- | Mary Sauer MSFT MVP | http://office.microsoft.com/ | http://msauer.mvps.org/ | news://msnews.microsoft.com | | "VB" wrote in message | ... | 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.

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.. -- John G.
