Font question
Joy,
What makes the difference if you have the font or not? You are proofreading, not printing. So what if another font is being substituted, as long as the spelling and grammar are correct? The other person ought to be able to see if the layout is correct, just in case whatever font is being substituted changes the layout a bit. Mike Joy wrote: I have Office 2003, including Publisher. I proofread our organization's newsletter when the editor e-mails it to me. Once before I got a message in Publisher that I didn't have a font she used, so I found it online and downloaded it. Now I am getting a similar message, but cannot find such a font. The Publisher message says: The font information below shows what fonts are embedded in your publication or are unavailable. Font Name - 20th Century Font Font Type - Unknown Status - Unavailable It suggests a Font substitution, but that won't help on her end, as we need to be "on the same page". Thanks for any help/suggestions. |

Font question
Mike,
Good question, but the way we've been doing it, is I make the corrections in my copy and she uses that (after I send it back to her). Seems to be easier for her than her making the changes/corrections I tell her about. Also that way I have the correct copy in my own file for future use, as sometimes I might send it to someone else. And there was one page this time where a word was cut off in my version, but she said it wasn't in hers, and I'm thinking it may have had something to do with the missing font.
