print a sample list of every font

[Sarah Barah]

Does anyone know how I can print one of those sample font lists without doing
all the manual work to set it up? A while ago I came across a way to print
several pages, each with one line in a different font and each line read,
"The lazy brown fox jumped over the fence" Or something like that...

Thanks for your expertise!

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly...who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a
worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat." - TR

And note that you can modify the provided macro to produce any sample text
you choose. I don't recall if this is still made clear in the introductory
verbiage.

I really need to use this, as my font sample listings are woefully out of
date (I'm a fontaholic).

Thanks for your quick response. Im sorry, Im not macro savy. Could you
give me a step by step for how to use the macro you've written? I'm using
word 2007. Thanks again for your expertise!

Thanks again! I tried to run it but i kept getting a syntax error... I was
trying to connect the broken links but I just couldn't get it going Does
anyone have a copy of this already done in word 2007 and saved that they
would be willing to send me? I would be very grateful.

The problem with the listing is that when you copy and paste it to the vba
editor it is double spaced. Some of those double spaces result in lines that
are marked in red to show syntax errors. All you need to do is re-paste and
remove the empty lines.
