I know how to delete the font from the font folder in the control panel but
how do I get it to delete from the font folder in Microsoft Office?
 
to further clarify: i deleted the font file, it does not exist on my
harddrive anymore that I know of, but when I am in Word and picking a text
they are still listed (even though if you select it a generic text
appears).....so how do I delete it from the program
 
Word will always display the name of font that has been applied to text,
even if it is not installed. This is a convenience so that you know what
font to install if you want to view the document as intended. The font
itself is not displayed; Word substitutes another font for display purposes.
If you want to eliminate the display of a given font name in a document, you
must apply a different font to the text.

[...] you must apply a different font to the text.

.... or choose another font in Tools > Compatibility > Font substitution,
then "convert permanently".

Problem: a few weeks before I found and bought the fort 'Kab' I entered it into the fojnt menu in word. Now that I have downloaded the font into the font in the control panel it doesn't correspond to the one in word.
Okay i understand all of that and Klaus I get what you are saying...
can someone help me with finding that same 'font substitution' with word
office 2007 please.
It wont work and I am afraid I have a newer version of word then you do.

Office Button > Word Options > Advanced > scroll down to Show Document
Content, it's the last item before the next batch. I'd recommend
putting it in the QAT (just right-click on the button) if you're ever
going to need it again!

What won't work?

Sorry, but I don't know what you're saying your problem is. Could you
start at the beginning and say what _you_, not mickey or Klaus, want
to do that is not getting done?
