how do i install new fonts on microsoft word?
The "Install New Fonts" facility is worthless. It doesn't let you FIND any
fonts to load. Where are these fonts that we can install? Also, why didn't the Office/Word 2003 version have as many fonts as the Office/Word 2000? I WANT MY OLD FONTS BACK!

how do i install new fonts on microsoft word?
If you still have the Office 2000 disc you can install any fonts it
contains. In any case merely changing Word 2000 for Word 2003 will not remove any installed fonts. Are you sure that you have a default printer selected that will actually print fonts? Word will only display fonts the current printer is capable of using. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org J wrote: The "Install New Fonts" facility is worthless.

how do i install new fonts on microsoft word?
Thank you, Graham, but I think my printers are fine Here's more info:
I have an old laptop with Office 2000. My new laptop (Dell Inspiron 6000, 1gbRAM, good graphics card, XP Media Center) has Office 2003. I have the installation CD for Office 2000, BUT NOT THE CODE, so they're worthless. The FONTS folder on 2003 does not have, for example, "Andy", "Allegro", "Victorian LET", and "Rockwell", among some fonts that I used frequently on my old computer. I am using two Konica Minolta laser printers, both of which were capable of printing all fonts I used on my old computer. I also have an Epson Laserjet 300, which can print all the fonts on my old computer. I have a new Dell 922, which should be able to print everything, but I have not installed it on my old computer. I don't believe the problem is PRINTERS; the fonts that came with 2003 simply do not include the fonts I want to use? How can I find them? Can I transfer them from Old to New by ethernet cable ? YOUR WEBSITE IS GREAT--I found a couple of things that will help me as I learn to be a good newsletter editor!

how do i install new fonts on microsoft word?
Hi J,
You can get the old fonts in either of two ways: - Yes, you can hook the two computers together by Ethernet, though I think you'll need a router between them. Or you can copy the .TTF files for those fonts from the \Windows\Fonts folder of the old computer to the same folder of the new computer by any other handy means, including floppy disks, USB drive, CD-R, or even email. - You can get them off the Office 2000 CD even without the product key. In the root folder of the CD you'll find a file named Office1.cab, which is a compressed file that you can open with WinZip or something similar. Sort the file list by type, and you'll find all the TrueType fonts listed near the bottom. Extract the ones you need into the \Windows\Fonts folder. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Sat, 24 Sep 2005 20:18:01 -0700, "J" wrote: Thank you, Graham, but I think my printers are fine Here's more info: I have an old laptop with Office 2000.

Even if you follow Graham's wonderful directions, you're not going to be
completely happy. Victorian LET is *not* a Microsoft-supplied font.

how do i install new fonts on microsoft word?
That's a Mystery: 3 years ago when I bought my old computer, I was "computer
dumb". I don't understand where "Victorian" came from if it wasn't installed with Office 2000, because if I'm not smart enough to load a font now, I certainly wasn't then. And, no, I did NOT know that I could get the product code. I bought my New Inspiron without Office because I thought I could load it from my CD's. When I found out I had lost the jewel case that had the code, I had to buy Office 2003, which is why I'm having this terrible learning curve. So, just for giggles, how DO I get the code?

how do i install new fonts on microsoft word?
And, of course, you can download tons of fonts from
the Net. Search Google for "fontname font". Download the desired TrueType fonts, unzip them if necessary, and move them to your active \Windows\Fonts folder. I created a folder inside \Windows labeled "Disabled fonts" This way, I can move unused active fonts from the \Windows\Fonts folder to the Disabled Fonts folder. This keeps the inactive fonts handy and cleans up my active fonts folder. Apps (especially Photoshop and Word) loads much faster. "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...
