Fonts in Word 2003
I have more fonts in the Windows folder than I can access in Word 2003. How
do I add fonts to Word font list. This didn't happen with Word 97 as every font in the Windows folder seemed to be accessible.

What fonts are you seeing in the Fonts folder that you cannot access in
Word? Note that some fonts are screen fonts (.fon), and Word won't use them because it can't print them. And Word doesn't list the bold and italic variants of fonts (they're accessed by using the Bold and Italic font properties). And if you have "Show only TrueType fonts in the programs on my computer" checked on the Fonts tab of your Fonts folder Folder Options, you won't see PostScript or printer-resident fonts. -- Suzanne S.

It is some of the True Type fonts which aren't showing . . . fonts like
'Kidprint' which show in the font folder but not in Word 2003 "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: What fonts are you seeing in the Fonts folder that you cannot access in Word?

Word only can access any installed font that the current printer driver is
capable of printing. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org bmswells wrote: I have more fonts in the Windows folder than I can access in Word 2003.

In the Fonts folder, see if the File menu includes the Install New Font
option. If not, it may be that you have exceeded the allowable number of fonts. This is not likely, though, if you're using an OS that can run Word 2003, as newer OSes don't have the limitations that older ones had. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CommonFontProbs.htm for some other avenues to explore. -- Suzanne S.
