Missing fonts

[Guest]

Could someone who is more versed in Word than I please tell me if there is a
way to tell what fonts were used to build a document in the first place? You
see, I work for a printer and we get customers sending us Word documents
without fonts and when we open it on our computer Word seems to just
substitute our fonts as best it can. But it would be nice if Word would tell
me that certain fonts are missing and that it was about to substitute a
different font. So is there a way to see/know what fonts the document
requires? Thanks.

The Font box in Word will display the name of the font in use, even if it is
not being displayed or printed. You can also get a clue by opening a
document using the Recover Text from Any File setting (fonts are listed
toward the end).
