Adding new fonts to Word. (ex. Courier New - add Courier only)
Sorry to be dim, but how do you import more fonts to Windows? Courier,
specifically? I am using MS Word 2003 for screenwriting purposes, and it is required that we write in Courier 12pt. font, not "Courier New." I think that is why this question has cropped up a couple times on this forum. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Word uses all the printable fonts that are in the Windows Fonts folder.

Adding new fonts to Word. (ex. Courier New - add Courier only)
Thanks so much for the reply!!! That explains a lot. It irks me to no end
that MS Word 2003 does not make such a commonly requested font available!!! Just look at the multiple threads about on this board. And it irks me that I might have to shell out $20 for one font??!! I did a quick check of download.com, but haven't found any freeware that offers Courier, yet. Does anyone know any offhand? Also, if I were to download a font onto one computer, could I save it to a zip disk or cd-rw and install it in a second computer? Or do I have to pay once for each computer?

Adding new fonts to Word. (ex. Courier New - add Courier only)
I'm not sure why Courier New, formatted as 12 pt won't work for you anyway?
Also... courier really isn't used that much anymore, so I don't know why some people still insist on it.  We can yell at everybody all day long. Idid not search hard for that font. Check the license agreement for the font you download/buy. I would say that if you're using it on your own PCs for your own use, you should be able to copy to as many PCs as you have. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Honnold Mudd" wrote in message ...

Adding new fonts to Word. (ex. Courier New - add Courier only)
Courier included with some versions of Windows is a screen font. Word cannot
use screen fonts. Some laser printers include Courier as a built-in font and for these Word can make the font available for use. Microsoft supplies Courier New as a TTF font that is a close facsimile of Courier. If this one is not suited to your requirements for some reason, then you are going to have to licence the proprietary font for use on your PCs.What licences are required you will have to take up with the copyright holder. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Honnold Mudd wrote: Thanks so much for the reply!!!
