PLEASE HELP-I need to "view" all fonts in Word 2003

[Guest]

I am having major compatibility issues! I have Office 2007 and Word on my
Mac. When I send a document to someone with Word 2003 for editing, the
formatting and/or the fonts change. I save it as a Word 2003 document. I've
already gone the PDF route, but I need to create the doc so that at least the
fonts don't change (for non-computer users). Can I get a list of fonts to
compare when using my versions of Word-make sure they both support the same
font?

The five new fonts installed with Office 2007 all have names beginning with
the letter "C":

Consolas
Cambria
Calibri
Candara
Constantia

Use traditional standards such as Arial, Times New Roman, Lucida Grande,
among others... or have the recipients obtain the new fonts you're using.

In addition, if the problem (at least sometimes) is not font
substitution but changes in the places where lines and pages break,
the cause may be that you're using different printer drivers that
interpret the font metrics differently. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm for
explanation. If you have to work across the Mac/PC divide, there may
not be any solution other than PDF.
