3 users of Word 2002 do not have same fonts available

[Guest]

Are office has 3 computers (all operating xp pro), we have the same version
of word (2002). It seems that the versions are different because I have more
fonts than my assistant.

Why and how can we resolve this problem?

Typically fonts are installed in one of two ways. First there is a
slate of fonts that come with windows by default. They are the most
standard. The second way is when a printer is installed, it can
contain extra fonts as part of its package.

My suggestion would be to make sure that you both are using the same
printer and printer driver as a starting point for figuring out the
differences in the font folders.

Not to mention that virtually every application (including Office) installs
a slew of fonts.

As long as you are sure that the fonts that you have are all "free"
fonts. Additional fonts can be purchased for a fee and therefore they
contain licensing issues. Helvetica is one that we have purchased for
certain users in our firm.
