What fonts are in use in my document?

[Guest]

I'm on a deadline and have a file that won't convert to PDF. I'm going to
send it to the printer as a Word document and ask him to print from Word, but
I need to make sure I provide him with all of the fonts being used in the
document. Is there a way to create a list of the fonts being used in a
specific document? I don't need info on fonts that are part of unused styles.

I'm not sure there is a way to see what fonts are or are not used in your
document, especially if you manually change the font style. If you have
manualy changed a font to a different one that is not associated with a
specific style, you will have problems.

To see all the possible fonts (ones associated with named styles and ones
added manually that are not associated with a style), you can open the file
using "Recover Text From Any File", which somewhere before the body of the
file will include a list of the all the fonts associated with the file.

Another solution: If the fonts are TrueType fonts, you can have them
embedded in your document so that when viewed or printed by someone else,
they will remain intact.

Tools > Options and then click the Save tab. Select Embed TrueType fonts,
then save the document.

What's the error message when you try to create the .pdf?
