How do I embed fonts in excel?
In Word and PowerPoint you can embed fonts so that readers/viewers can see
the text the way it was intended. Does this function exist in Excel? If so can someone tell me how, if not why?! Thanks

Excel doesn't support this.
Why--just a guess. I figure that MS thought of excel as a number cruncher--not as a word processor or presentation program.

Thanks.
Its a shame really. I guess I'll have to embed the Excel files in Word and then embed the font in Word also. Not sure if it'll work? "Dave Peterson" wrote: Excel doesn't support this.

I've never tried it.
Why not just send the font and tell them how to install it? Then you can forget about it. (I'm not sure if Word installs that font or just uses it in place (maybe not even the correct terms!). But if it's not installed, ....) LazyBoy wrote: Thanks. Its a shame really. I guess I'll have to embed the Excel files in Word and then embed the font in Word also. Not sure if it'll work?

I'm not a copyright lawyer, but don't you have that same distribution problem
