Missing Fonts

[Guest]

I am a student. I am trying to work on some word processing exercises and I
am having trouble finding the fonts I need. I have Office 2007 Standard. I
can find the fonts on my computer at school but not at home. Examples are
Broadway, old Baskerville, and Alergian just to start.

Different versions/editions of Office software can change the fonts that are
installed. Just because you have a font at school doesn't guarantee that
you'll have them at home.

Hi Jenny

I am a student. I am trying to work on some word processing exercises and I
am having trouble finding the fonts I need. I have Office 2007 Standard. I
can find the fonts on my computer at school but not at home. Examples are
Broadway, old Baskerville, and Alergian just to start.

While font files may end up on a computer through various ways, most
come with individual products. After installation, they are managed by
the Operating System (and not by, say, Word, or any other program alone).

http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/default.aspx

lets you find out which fonts are included in Microsoft products, and
lists these products.

So, if your home computer does not show a given font that Microsoft says
comes with the installed version of Word, you might be able to install
it through the Word/Office setup. In this case, it's probably all right
to copy the TTF font file from your school computer (Start | Control
Panel | Fonts) and drop it in the same folder on your home computer.

I don't see my program (Word 2007) in the list. Am I missing something?

No, it has it's own page. Let me see if I have it bookmarked here at work or
can find it easily.

have helped you for a change. You've helped me more often than you;ll ever
know.
